About Us

Our Story

1964

Martin’s Eggs began in 1964, when Lester Martin, with the help of his father Ellis, purchased a small community egg huckster route. In those early days, Lester gathered eggs from neighboring farms and delivered them directly to markets throughout Lancaster County and Philadelphia. The business was simple, honest, and built on relationships—qualities that continue to guide us today.
