"As we also have a separate page running for Brixworth and our 50 customers there," she added.
All the eggs are XL free range and are purchased from Bird Bros farms in Bedfordshire.
"There are lots of happy hens there - and this is confirmed by our customers as apparently a sign of happy hens are double yolkers and we’ve had plenty of reports of those," Chloe said.

Deliveries are on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 8am and 11.30am. Customers leave money at the door, eggs are then placed down and deliverers walk away, so it is completely contactless.
Collections are also available outside Chloe's home in Shard Close, East Hunsbury, every Saturday afternoon.
