Hilliker's Fresh Eggs

No egg shortage here!!
Turn in the driveway where the chicken sign is - noticed they are closed 1130-1230 for lunch. The road down is narrow- share the lane with people exiting. No marked parking spaces, you pull to the side close to the building. I was in and out with 2 flats of eggs in less than 5 minutes. 20 Xl brown eggs $9, 20 lrg white $8.
Excellent customer service!
Had I not gotten direction before coming, I might have gotten nervous turning on the road by myself O_O it's a farm, so it smells but I'm definitely coming back!

Wow, what a way to start my Christmas Eve morning.
We are having an egg casserole for Christmas morning.  I have been in the habit of getting my eggs at Hilliker's ; especially on special occasions.

This morning, this has all changed.  I doubt I will ever patronize their business again.

I'd heard that egg ranches are having trouble keeping stock of eggs due to a shortage in the local stores so I phoned the ranch to inquire on how they were doing with their stock. I didn't want to drive out there for nothing.

The guy who answered the phone was hella rude!  He answered the phone by saying, Hilliker's Ranch; we are open today, 8-5pm; is there anything else I can get for you?
I started off my call with a "Merry Christmas", and asked about his supply of eggs.  He spouted off in an agitated hostile tone, "I just said we are open from 8am to 5.  We wouldn't be open if we didn't have eggs."

I was not expecting to be treated in this manner.  I was pissed.  I told him he could keep his eggs!

Luckily there are a couple other egg ranches in the San Diego area; I will be getting my eggs from there . .  . probably from now on.  This is not the first time the men at Hilliker's have been rude to me, so I figure it's time others should know.  The only one there who is good on the phone is the female who seems to be the office manager there; she's never been rude to me and is very helpful.

I guess the couple males that work there figure their chicken egg crap doesn't stink, and they can treat customers any old kind of way due to their popularity in east county.  But not this chick.  I'm sadly going to have to go elsewhere.

Merry Christmas!

Excellent prices, super friendly people. Love this place!!!
Bonus having Jackie's Jams there too!

The eggs are excellent and the prices are very affordable. The place though is unkempt and smells. The service is also a bit brusque. The traffic flow is awful as people park without consideration for other clients and you can get trapped. If you are going for the first time don't go over the weekend, stand back so you can read the options when you're there, go up and get what you want. There's no looking around the place to figure out if something else catches your fancy. I love the quality of eggs and I'm in and out in 5 minutes. The rest I can ignore.

Poor service. The woman who works the front area was not there. Some rude guy who has not a clue how to treat customers nor how to use the credit card pad tried to tell me to bring cash or use another card. Whined and acted like a complete ass  the whole time! I have high standards as a medical professional and a nurse and would never think to act this way at my job! I should have walked out! Sad to see what passes as " customer service" here! Will not return. Many other places to get eggs!

Love that they haven't over increased their prices and always has available eggs. Love supporting local businesses.

Most delicious eggs I've made at home in a long time!!  Freshness is a must to a great egg!!

Best prices for some eggs. I'd rather go here there too a grocery store. Thanks for an amazing quality.

You would think Hilliker's would have a slightly lower price for eggs, since they don't have the overhead a big store does -- but no.  I bought a carton of 18 organic eggs from Smart and Final last week while Hilliker's charged almost $7 for a dozen. You also have to wonder about how honest they are on their taxes since they only accept cash.

The prices combined with Hilliker's political stand makes me not want to support him or his business.

Why drive all over SD looking for eggs -
Hilliker's updates their website so you know what they have.
Awesome!!
