The Easter bunny has some serious competition after Heyden Farms donated nearly 5000 eggs to the Tauranga Community Foodbank.
The first donation was soon after the Bay of Plenty Times annual six-week Christmas Appeal, in partnership with Gilmours Wholesale Food and Beverage Tauriko, kicked off last month.
A total of 200 dozen (2400) eggs was donated.
Last week, they did it again with the egg-xact same amount, bringing the grand total of eggs donated to 4800.

Major shareholder Peter Heyden said they had a surplus of eggs from their new farm in the Waikato region, and sending the eggs straight to the foodbank for those in need was a no-brainer.
