Spring Creek is a family-owned farm in Saint Anns, Ontario — where the quail are well-cared for, and the eggs are as fresh as can be! We're dedicated to bringing fresh quail eggs from our farm to your table in a way that we can all feel good about.

Founded in 2002, our small but mighty farm has grown to become one of the largest producers of quail eggs in North America. Our all-natural eggs are laid by healthy and happy hens, with no antibiotics or hormones.

We believe quail are a healthier, happier bird than chickens — and their eggs should be available to more people. Today, Spring Creek Quail Farms ships millions of fresh quail eggs to hundreds of local supermarkets across Canada and the United States. In addition, we are a producer of pickled quail eggs and fresh quail meat.
