Chino Valley Ranchers’ Nichols Egg Ranch retail store is closed but you can still buy in bulk (626) 652‑0890 I will miss the retail part

I’m SOOO DISAPPOINTED ! They are now CLOSED! I kinda feel like they gave us no warning that they were going to close! They were so inexpensive, as I would buy in bulk, and now trying to find a new egg distributor has become a nightmare! My families business has been buying eggs from them for the last 25+ years! Yes it’s true some of the eggs would be cracked, and the lady would give attitude about it, but their eggs were fresh.
They need to come back, and service us! or let me know where they moved to so I can go buy eggs lol

Usually purchase my eggs here cuz they were inexpensive. They were $ 2.49 for 30 and now they have gone up to $ 2.79. Not much of a savings. Anyway, what is worse is that the attitude of the workers have also gotten worse. The tall latina lady provides service with an «Attitude». IF you like that, then you will like this place. I don’t care for it. If she only knew, many people would rather go to a place and pay a little more for better service and where their business is appreciated. Oh… and also, they no longer provide plastic bags for you to carry your flat of eggs in. When we were waiting for her to bag them (what she usually did), she looked at us and stared, We asked, can you bag it? He reply.“we don’t bag anymore!” RUDE!

I agree with Unilocaler X. The first and last time I came here I was excited to get a deal. I ordered a Chex mix and literally half the eggs were cracked. About six of them had yolk coming out and the lady behind the counter gave me an attitude and said they’re suppose to be like that «ARE YOU SERIOUS»??? Try telling that to the health department. She did exchange two eggs and said that’s the best she can do if not to leave them. Well its been two years and haven’t returned. Try Maust’s Poultry in Chino they have organic eggs and chicken. Lastly the workers are friendly and also sell Chex mix, and they’re not cracked with yolk coming out.

I don’t go here that much since I never have a need to buy eggs, but when I start baking, this is the place to go. I love how you have so many egg choices. For low budget eggers, you could purchase their mix batches for super cheap. I like going here for their double yolks. Never will you find a place that sell double yolks. It’s perfect for someone who bakes a lot.

I love these eggs! So fresh and cheap for bulk. During Nov-​Jan prices go up for holiday. The rest of the year, 5 dozens for $ 13!!! The yolk is so yellow… that’s how you know they are fresh!!!

This is a great place to get super fresh organic eggs at a low price. They offer medium or jumbo, white or brown eggs on flats of 20. Currently $ 2.79−4.20, depending on size and color. If you are in the area, it’s well worth a visit.

Oh Nichols Egg Ranch. how you have stolen my heart with eggs. Never have I heard of a place that just sells eggs until my good friend told me about it.
This place is located at the Arcadia/​El Monte border in the middle of industrial warehouses. It’s actually located in a warehouse itself, and I believe they sell their eggs wholesale to other businesses too, but of course, they are open to the public. I bought 2 dozen organic eggs that ended up being less than 9 bucks. I would never get that type of pricing for high quality eggs at a supermarket. Plus shopping at warehouses normally makes me feel a little cooler and that I’m getting a better deal than shopping at a traditional supermarket. That’s why people love Costco and Home Depot!
What these guys are missing is an Omelet Bar! If you are reading this Nichols… please start making Omelets for your beloved patrons, I will be your first customer.

This hidden El Monte gem sells some eggs «for cheap» as the saying goes. If you are ever in the mood for some pseudo-​organic eggs – they claim they’re organic, but they don’t taste quite the same as the stuff you can get «at home» so to speak. For the price though, you just can’t argue with it. They do taste better than regular eggs at the store, and cost only a fraction of the price.

love to consume anything eggs? baking a huge quantity of goodies? making tons of breakfast platters that require eggs? or just wanting to eat eggs that comes from free range chickens? then you found yourself the right spot!
$ 2.49 for 20 large size brown eggs. that’s a freaking deal. they haven’t been shipped anywhere and haven’t been chilling anywhere in the market for god knows how long.
they are fresh. the prices has gone up compared to previous years. but it’s still a pretty darn good deal. the only catch is, you’re straight up coming for eggs. it could be a little out of the way but definitely well worth it in my opinion! in and out, less than 5 minutes and bam you got yourself a whole bunch of eggs!
Tips:
*cash only.
*plenty of parking spots. you might be missing it if you’re driving buy. its kind of smack in the middle with other businesses.
*they have white eggs too but i tend to always get the brown.
*i’ve seen this brand at the supermarkets as well, but i prefer to just come here.

Great place to go if you are mass-​producing omelettes or want to bake like crazy one day. Eggs come in trays of 20, with white and brown eggs, of different sizes too. The service is so-​so but you get a good deal on eggs and they taste good too.
I like that they also have huge flour tortillas! It’s good quality too; perfect for making burritos or big quesadillas and omelettes!

I drive by this place all the time on my drive home from work. I have never stopped until yesterday and I was very glad I did. They were having a New Year Special.20 Large eggs, for $ 2.89, well I had to get that just to try them out. This morning I made my egg white scramble and the eggs were very tasty. I am not sure how their chickens are fed but I could tell a difference from the regular grocery store chain brand I would buy. Will I stop her again. YES in fact I will be stopping by every Thursday to buy 20 or 30 eggs a week. At this price I will have no problem having my egg white scramble and hard boiled eggs for snacks during the week.

Awww egg prices went up! =(Instead of $ 1.99 for the 30 count CHEX mix eggs it’s now up to $ 2.49.
The CHEX mix is the pack of random sized eggs. Still a good deal but not crazy good, I like the mix because sometimes you just need a small egg to bind stuff together when cooking and a jumbo one would be overkill.
Other prices:
20 Jumbo Brown — $ 4.32
20 Jumbo White — $ 4.10
The lady at the counter says prices fluctuates all the time so hopefully it would go back down soon. They say their eggs come in daily from the ranch so it’s fresh.
I am happy that the lady put a plastic bag around the three packs I bought because as I was placing them into the car I accidentally crushed one egg. D= If it wasn’t for that bag I would have had egg mess all over to clean up.

Prices have gone up again. I went on December 14^th and it was 2.49 for the Chex which is 30 eggs. It roughly equates to about 8 cents an egg which you can get at the supermarket when they are on sale for 99 cents a dozen. Too bad… I think they will lose a lot of business raising their prices so much. I probably won’t go there anymore because I made a special trip out there and I don’t want to waste my gas.

I love chickens. I love their eggs. I should have loved this place.
My sister, a recent returnee from Peace Corps, and I, no stranger to the country way of life, cracked it first thing on a weekend morning for a trip to Nichols. We were so excited… farm fresh eggs should be amazing. Feathers tucked in between eggs on crates. Yolks the color of the sun. A firm understanding that the marketing campaign of the incredible edible egg was right! Alas, with two great Unilocal reviews, my standards proved to have been a bit too high.
This is the store front for a ranch located somewhere else. The closest you get to chickens are the handful of photos hanging on the walls. The location is tiny, and while clearly marked from the road, it’s a bit disorganized inside. If there were size and grade options, it wasn’t clear to me. In hind sight I should have paid better attention to what «Chex» mix was…
At the counter were flats of the biggest jumbo eggs I’ve ever seen, some boasting two yolks, the other just jumbo, both brown and white. Price for 20 jumbo brown eggs: $ 4.23. Now, I wanted to believe the little chickadee who birthed these enjoyed an organic diet, but I’m struggling to believe that some «additional» motivation wasn’t required to produce such a large egg. Ditto with the double yolks.
Behind the counter was a table with what I believe were the Chex mix eggs. The eggs were not well presented, and not well marked. It wasn’t until we got back in the truck to come home did we both really think they were a purchase option.
With a minute to decide on our purchase, still stunned no little chickees were anywhere to be seen, we settled on two crates of brown jumbos. We rushed home with our prize.
The eggs were good, but they did not live up to my expectations of a farm fresh egg. The yolks were brighter than your Costco variety, but not the brilliant orange I get from my friend’s organic, backyard hens. They were also not particularly fresh — a fresh egg should have tight albumen, which should poach a beautiful white around the yolk. I’m 10 eggs into the first crate, and have yet to hit a winner in the poaching department.
I guess if you’re a city kid with low expectations, this place is pretty spiffy. But don’t confuse the eggs here for the kind of eggs you’d expect out «on the farm.»

These folks feed their free range chickens nothing but organic feed. You can find their eggs at any Trader Joe’s and other premium markets, but if you live close by, why not drop in and buy them directly from the egg rancher? I’m all about supporting local businesses and the price can’t be beat when you cut out the middleman!
Plus, you can actually taste the difference. Those other eggs trucked in from Kentucky or wherever the heck they come from are flavorless and the yolks are runny.
Nichols eggs are the best! The business is family-​owned and operated (going on the fourth generation) and they obviously care about quality. I highly recommend.
