Name: Ryann Hinch

Favorite Egg Dish: Organic Hardboiled Eggs with Secret Aardvark Sauce

Living in Washington State all my life, my love for Wilcox Farms started at an early age.  At school and at home Wilcox was always on the menu.  Some of my fondest memories of the Puyallup Fair were in the Wilcox dairy barn.   Like many of you, I was a diehard chocolate milk fan.  My father’s reward system when I was a good kid was a milkshake with vanilla bean ice cream and Wilcox chocolate milk.  When I was in high school my mother started working for the farm and my first question was: When do we get free samples?  My mother explained how the farm was getting into organics and cage free eggs.  I was fascinated hearing her stories and inspired by the farms’ forward thinking.  While in college studying marketing, I had the opportunity to work for the farm as a merchandiser in Oregon.  This is where I got the nickname ‘Egglady’ from a Costco manager.  After college, I broadened my experience working for another natural consumer goods company.  In the back of my mind, I always felt my contribution to the farm was not complete.  I’ve been back with Wilcox since 2012, continuing my life as Egglady.
