Burnbrae Farms has its origins in a farm outside the village of Lyn, which is near Brockville in Ontario, Canada. The farm, known as Burnbrae Farms, has been in the Hudson family for over 120 years.
The Burnbrae story has always been one that has been focused on giving Canadians the best quality eggs, while also educating the importance of eggs in a healthy diet. Eggs are ideal in getting the protein and nutrients needed by both children and adults. Their versatility makes them easy to incorporate into meals and they are always delicious to eat.
Why Eat Eggs?
There are so many reasons why eggs are an important part of our diet. They contain many of the essential nutrients required to be the healthiest you can possibly be. Here are just a few of the 13 vitamins and minerals that are gained by eating eggs:
- Choline for healthy brain development and function
- Folate, iron and vitamin B12 for making red blood cells
- Vitamin A for healthy skin and night vision
- Vitamin D for building healthy bones and teeth
- Protein-rich foods, like eggs, make good sense as part of a balanced breakfast because protein can help children stay full longer. That means they’ll be less likely to get distracted by hunger and better able to concentrate well.
The amino acids and quality protein that are gained by egg consumption are the building blocks needed for a growing body and for a strong, healthy body.
Breakfast is Booming
Breakfast has gone viral recently with more people talking about the importance of this meal. It has become a topic of conversation due to the fact that it is commonly either being skipped or eaten on the run. It has been shown that there have been over 1.1 million social media conversations happening in Canada in the past year about breakfast – many of which focus on people’s lack of time and their need for convenience when it comes to breakfast food. It has become increasingly common for young millennials as well as parents to skip the most important meal of the day and Burnbrae Farms is trying to change that. We strive to make it easier for Canadians who are always on-the-go to eat healthier.

Toonies for Tummies

This program is part of our overall efforts to be a good corporate citizen including our commitment to sustainability, the environment and animal welfare.
