On The Up: The Egg Project - Manawatū business delivers free-range and organic eggs

Organic free-range chicken farm The Egg Project is run under the watchful eye of “mother hen” Pip Chrystall in coastal Manawatū. As part of NZME’s On The Up campaign, The Country’s Kem Ormond learns more about Pip, her project, and her love for her community. The Egg Project, close to Himitangi Beach in the coastal Manawatū region, is an idyllic place to run a certified organic free-range chicken farm.

This family-run business has a pecking order and owner Pip Chrystall is the mother hen. Pip has to be one of the most positive, happy and focused people you could meet..
