Why Choose Our Farm-Fresh Eggs?

There is a world of difference between a mass-produced supermarket egg and a fresh one from our pasture-raised flocks. Here is why making the switch matters:

They Taste Better & Pack More Nutrition Because our hens live outside and forage on a natural diet of fresh grass, seeds, and bugs, their eggs are visually richer and packed with flavor. Compared to store-bought eggs, pasture-raised eggs have thicker shells, denser yolks, less saturated fat, and significantly higher levels of Vitamin A, E, Calcium, and Omega-3s.
True Vitamin D (From Real Sunshine!) Our hens get plenty of sunshine and exercise. Commercial "cage-free" hens are often packed into massive, dark barns and never see the sun. Because our hens live outside, their eggs are one of the best natural sources of Vitamin D you can find.
Unbeatable Freshness Did you know supermarket eggs can be up to two months old by the time you buy them? Commercial farms have up to 30 days just to carton their eggs. When you buy from us, you are getting eggs laid right here on the farm, traveling a fraction of the distance to get to your table.
Farm-Fresh Guinea Eggs In addition to our chicken eggs, we also have guinea eggs available! Laid by our free-ranging guinea fowl, these eggs are generally slightly smaller than chicken eggs but boast a much larger, richer yolk and an incredibly creamy flavor. They also have extra-thick shells, which gives them an excellent shelf life. They are a must-try for foodies!
Farm-Fresh Quail Eggs We have also added assorted coturnix quail to our farm. Quail lay a small but mighty egg that is a superhouse of nutrition and considered a culinary delicacy. They have a remarkably high yolk-to-white ratio, giving them an incredibly rich, creamy flavor. They cook up in just a few minutes—perfect for gourmet appetizers, elegant salads, or a fun, bite-sized breakfast treat kids love!
Raised with Love and Respect Most industrial eggs come from hens confined to tiny cages. Our birds get to do what they do best: scratch in the dirt, chase bugs, and soak up the sun. They are happy, healthy, have names, and are loved just like every other animal on our farm.

Farm-Fresh Eggs: FAQ

Are the eggs washed?

When a bird lays an egg, she coats it in a natural protective layer called a "bloom." This bloom seals the pores of the shell and keeps harmful bacteria out. Washing the egg removes this defense and can actually force bacteria inside. We keep our coops clean and our hens healthy so while we may brush bedding and feathers off before placing them in the cartons, the eggs you buy come with their natural bloom.

How long do farm-fresh eggs last?

Because the bloom is intact, they will last for several months in the refrigerator. While farm fresh eggs CAN be kept at room temperature, once they have been refrigerated, they should be kept refrigerated so they don't sweat which can break down that protective bloom.
