Farm donates thousands of eggs as demand plummets 18 January 2021 | Producers face the reality of having to throw away perfectly edible eggs as demand declines Thousands of cartons of free range eggs are being donated to food banks by a farm which has seen a drop in demand due to the pandemic. Egg producer St Ewe launched the Shell Out To Help Out campaign to support local communities as the Covid crisis has caused 'business to drop'. For each tray sold at their current reduced price, the farm is donating 1 carton of eggs to food banks across Cornwall. St Ewe says it is trying to help ease the 'growing food poverty issue exacerbated by the relentless Covid-19 pandemic'.
