Great family run operation. We are all so fortunate to have them in the community. They kept Santee in eggs during COVID when no one else could. The are also huge supporters of youth in agriculture. Why would anyone move near a farm/ranch and complain about smells or noises unless they are just brain dead... Thank you Hillikers for providing us with delicious eggs and for keeping a bit of old East County alive. read more

Best eggs for the best prices. You truly know the source and they also have great milk and honey selection

Been coming here to purchase milk, honey, and eggs for some time now. I've never had a negative experience. The customer service is excellent. I've taken a tour of this facility and can personally vouch that the chickens here are very well taken care of, and appear to be very happy! Maybe the people in the surrounding neighborhoods just need to look in the mirror and figure out where they decided to purchase a home then take one big breath so that they can meditate and reduce their stress level levels. read more

I have been going to Hillikers for eggs for many years but on my last visit I wanted to try some of the jam that they sell there. There are many flavors to choose from. So many I couldn't decide! The young man behind the counter,Colton, was so kind and friendly I almost bought them all! I highly recommend Hillikers for more than just eggs! The Jam I got (spicy raspberry) was delicious! read more

Horrible eggs. Chickens are in small confined coops. Stressed out all day. Bought some eggs and got sick from them. They keep large mounds of chicken manure right next to the chickens and they have to breath that in which i would imagine is bad for the chickens respiratory system. Probably causing the poor egg quality. I wouldn't buy from them unless you want some stomach pain and diarrhea read more

Used these fresh eggs throughout the holidays and they were great! Very fresh and tasty, colorful yoke. I'll be using them for my next batch of bread pudding. read more

**May 2023: Monday Morning Visit** Honestly, when I'm at home I buy the cheapest eggs at the grocery store; however, since I was staying nearby I thought I'd support small and purchase some fancy eggs. My friend and I drove up on a late weekday morning and were the only patrons there. You'll go through a dirt road and see some milk cows before seeing the little stall to grab your goods. This family owned farm has been operating since 1942 and houses over 30,000 hens! The area definitely smells like it, but that means it's a working farm! They sells Medium, Large, and Jumbo eggs (both white and brown). I bought a dozen brown eggs for $4.50. I can confirm the yolks are orange. I'd be open to come back and patron them on my next visit to Lakeside! read more

Great experience I was told by my coworker that the eggs were good and that they have milk and jams too. I went after work since it was only 15 mins away it was a quick process when I pulled up there were already people parked in the roundabout then when they left we were motioned to park and go in. I grabbed two dozen jumbo eggs blood orange marmalade and 50/50 bar milk. They take cash and card and they also have honey and jerky for dog I think. The price was great comparative to the grocery store, I went home and tried theilk with my wife we loved it and the marmalade with sourdough toast exceptional. Im coming back this week to re-up on my eggs. read more

Thank you so much! Best eggs and service in town! The prices and service are great ! So excited now I can get to baking! read more

We had the absolute worst experience at Hilliker this morning. I have been coming here to get eggs for the longest time and today my husband must've parked in the wrong section and an older gentleman with glasses on screamed at him because he parked in the wrong spot then he goes inside, the older gentleman goes inside and says something to the ladies that were working inside the store, and they all stopped what they were doing, and looked over at my husband, still having a positive attitude not a single person acknowledged him when he went to leave. He said God bless you and still nobody spoke to him. I don't know what happened to you guys this morning, but this was absolutely insane and one of the worst experiences I've had in a long time . I'm not sure if you guys were all just having a bad morning or if something happened but There was absolutely no customer service and incredibly rude. Today at 8:15am 2/12/2025 read more

My neighbor came over because he's going on vacation. He brought over some eggs and I thought oh great eggs. I didn't recognize the name however, when they were finally cooked, they were delicious! Usually you don't compare eggs. I guess these eggs are cage free fresh from the farm so. They were yummy that's all didn't get rubbery or runny! Remember, we're talking about here! You're in East county and in Lakeside specifically, and are looking for some eggs from friendly chickens, look no further than Hilliker's fresh eggs! read more

Love this place for the fresh eggs and honey. And yes, it does smell like a farm, go figure!!! Reminds me of my childhood back on the farm in Oregon. read more

Great quality fresh eggs and milk for a great price! Especially with the egg prices at the grocery stores right now, this can't be beat.

We drive 25 minutes for theses eggs every other week, they're amazing! I'll NEVER purchase eggs from a grocery store again. Super rich yolks and variations of sizes. Seeing the animals is a super bonus. My daughter and I LOVE and look forward to going for eggs. I grew up eating fresh eggs.... You really don't realize the difference after eating store-bought eggs for years and years and years until you go back to fresh; wow! Did I mention they're cheaper than the store?! Maybe my gas cost makes it even or maybe even more but, IT'S WORTH IT! read more

Hilliker's Fresh Eggs - Goats, a pony or an ostrich?! We've seen 'em' all here - Farms Near Me - Lakeside, California

I love the eggs, and the customer service is great. I usually come early in the morning and is usually not crowded. I usually get the brown flat eggs, and the white 12 dozen. The only bad thing is that you cannot take more than just 2 boxes but is understanding due to the demand of clients they get. The prices are reasonable, and the taste is just great. read more

Love coming out here for eggs and cheeses and jams! Lots of great products and amazing prices. Totally worth to drive to lakeside from our neighborhood. read more

Fresh eggs!!! They just taste better. It is hard for me to eat eggs from anywhere else. Hilliker's has spoiled me. Thank you read more

Great prices for the eggs. They also have different flavor milk and jams. I noticed other items but forgot to take note of what they were. Definitely worth it! Come early, they close by 11 or 12, I think. read more

Great service and good amount of eggs highly recommend !! There is a line at times so be courteous to others and make it easy for entrance and exiting. read more

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! read more

customer service here is non existent. I pick up eggs here once a week, last week they were giving me more eggs that I was being billed for. I pointed that out and one of the owners said it was their mistake and then blew up on me as if it was my fault. thinking this was an isolated inciden, I went back this week for 45 dozen... the same guy came to the entrance and literally got in my face about last week. then called me a "tough guy" this is absolutely no way to treat people that are there to buy your product! I guess they don't need the sales, there are other egg farms in town. I do NOT recommended this busines, the product is average and does not warrant almost getting into a fight with one of the owners that thinks he's got something to prove. read more

Eggs are always fresh and so tasty . There's not many places like this left open . I come all the way from Yuma to visit mom and always pick up four dozen to take home also very fair price . The folks that run the chicken ranch are very nice too ! read more

Great prices! Great healthy eggs. And the staff are super friendly! Bonus for having "Jackie's jams" get the raspberry!

Local fresh eggs, cheaper than Walmart Especially right now it's nice to know there is a place I can rely on for eggs

Established in the community for years. Supporter of many functions, and the eggs are great too!

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! read more

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. read more

I have been coming here for 5+ years. Usually buy 5 flats of eggs, previously satisfied. Today again traveled 15iles to pick up some eggs. I was told I could only buy 1 flat. When I protested, counter lady said "You can buy 1 or zero". As a customer I felt unappreciated, so I said "ok, it is zero'" and walked out. As I turned around, I heard her say to co-worker, "See how quickly I got rid of them". With her response and lack of customer service, she she sure got rid of a previously satisfied customer. read more

Hilliker's Fresh Eggs - Farms Near Me - Lakeside, California

I love fresh eggs. Hilliker's Fresh Eggs has been around seemingly forever, and lucky for me they are not far from my house. I will not buy eggs from anywhere else. I have a couple of friends who have chickens and they'll give me eggs on occasion, but no grocery store eggs for me. The difference in flavor and cookability is remarkable. Hilliker's has white and brown eggs, medium, large and jumbo. I stopped in for a flat of 20 jumbo brown for $5.50. Excellent eggs at excellent prices. Be warned. If you go to Hilliker's for eggs or get Hilliker's eggs at one of the local stores that sells them, you will never go back to boring grocery store eggs. read more

Eggs were amazing. I live in spring valley and drive all the way just to shop with them

Thank goodness for farmer's markets and Yelp, confirming that I can get fresh eggs from a wonderful local farm. Thanks to everyone losing their minds, eggs are a rare commodity in stores. I remembered Hilliker's at a local farmer's market so I searched it up and saw I could get eggs there! Breakfast and baking have been saved! The process is extremely easy, as other posters have said. They have you drive through, take your order, and hand you the eggs. Limit of 2 dozen per customers. Bonus: I got fresh honey, too! read more

Freshest eggs in town and the prices are reasonable. We've been customers at least 15 years.

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!!
