Makemo Egg Farm (Oeufs Frais de Makemo)
16° 37.4′ S · 143° 34.4′ W · approximate
A chicken farm on the main road toward the wind farm that sold fresh eggs to cruisers. In 2023 it was reported probably closed.
Practical
Approximate: placed in Pouheva village ashore of the village anchorage (Soggy Paws waypoint 16°37.6S / 143°34.3W) and west of the lighthouse (16°37'14"S / 143°34'08"W, French Wikipedia); the exact building is not geolocated in any source, so walk from the dinghy dock using the directions here. Location (Soggy Paws): on the main road toward the wind farm, just before you cross over to Motu Tamara; the small sign can only be read coming from the west. Nehenehe (Jan 2019) paid 500 XPF a dozen (verify locally) and found the owners super nice. 2023 update in the compendium: 'phone number no good, farm probably closed.' Ask in the village before walking out. Hamble Warrior (July 2023) found fresh eggs from the local farm at Opareke Market on delivery days, so the farm or another producer was still supplying in 2023.
