Smart Growth, Fresh Eggs: The Subscription Strategy Behind McQuailerton Farms
Merry, Bright, and Already Handled: Why Our Egg Subscriptions Took Off This Year
This Christmas season, a whole bunch of families are opening their fridge and getting a little gift from Past-You: a fresh box of quail eggs that just magically… shows up on time.
2025 has been the year of the subscription here at McQuailerton Farms. We’ve quietly watched our egg subscription packages grow from “fun idea” to “cornerstone of the farm,” and as we wrap up the year, it’s crystal clear why they work so well: they remove one more thing from your already crowded brain.
When you’re juggling kids, chores, work, holidays, and whatever fresh chaos life throws at you, remembering to reorder eggs shouldn’t be another item on the list. Our subscriptions turn fresh quail eggs into an ongoing, pleasantly predictable surprise.
One Less Thing to Remember (Your Future Self Says “Thanks”)
The magic of the subscription model isn’t complicated. It’s this: once you’re set up, you don’t have to think about it again. No late-night “Oh no, we’re out of eggs for breakfast” moment. No trying to time your orders around your schedule.
- You don’t set reminders. We do the remembering for you.
- You don’t stalk your tracking number. You just start recognizing “egg delivery week.”
- You don’t re-enter your info. The system already knows you, and we do, too.
What we hear from customers again and again is that the subscription becomes a steady rhythm in their home. The box shows up, people get excited, someone starts preheating a pan, and the whole house smells like breakfast and good decisions.
Our Favorite Part: “Ship Yesterday’s Eggs Today”
Behind the scenes, the way we run the farm is built around one core idea: ship yesterday’s eggs today.
The packages we mainly ship now are 60-egg boxes. On an average day, our birds are giving us around 🥚 70–80 eggs a day which means we’re not scrambling to barely fill your box.
Instead, that extra production gives us something powerful: choice. We get to hand-select the best of the bunch, pull the cleanest, nicest, most uniform eggs, and build your order from that top tier.
You’re not just getting eggs. You’re getting our “A team” eggs, selected from yesterday’s fresh production and shipped today, at peak quality.
This system let us build a repeatable, dependable workflow:
- Birds lay more than we need.
- We hand-pick the best eggs for subscription customers.
- We ship yesterday’s eggs today so nothing sits around waiting.
- Your box shows up fresh, consistent, and on time.
How Subscriptions Fit Our Strategic Growth Plan
Now let’s talk business for a second, because this isn’t just convenient for you—it’s strategic for the farm.
When you subscribe, we’re not just filling one random order. We’re building a predictable, recurring pattern of demand. That does a few big things for us:
-
It keeps our advertising cost per egg down.
Every time you stay subscribed, we don’t have to “re-acquire” you with more ads, boosts, or campaigns. That means fewer dollars on marketing and more attention on quality. -
It gives us a clear, sustainable growth path.
Subscriptions help us plan how many birds to raise, how much feed to buy, how many shipping days we need, and exactly what “right-sized” looks like for our farm. -
It lets us grow to the size we want—and stop there.
We’re not trying to be the biggest. We’re trying to be the right size: big enough to serve families well, small enough to stay hands-on and intentional with every box that leaves the farm.
In other words, every new subscription is more than a sale. It’s a vote for sustainable, long-term, “not-going-corporate” growth.

A Big “Thank You” From the Farm
As we roll through the Christmas season and into a new year, we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who trusted us with their breakfast, their baking, and their holiday recipes.
Your subscriptions don’t just help us keep the lights on and the feeders full. They help us build the kind of farm that can stay small enough to care, but strong enough to last.
