Eggs are back on the shelf in the farm store. I am grateful for spring abundance, for this winters pullets really coming into production and our brand new chicken coop/pasture setup!!
Our free-range hens are fed Organic feed and kitchen/garden/orchard scraps and fallen fruit. (They have been helping clean out the last apples in the cooler.)
Eggs are only available at the Farm Store - $7 per dozen.
When our egg selection is lean we fill our regular weekly customers orders first. This fall and winter our egg numbers were lower, and we had predator loss in the fall. For months all we could fill was regulars orders (and feed ourselves!). Abundance has returned!
Eggs from hens raised on pasture may contain:
1/3 less cholesterol
1/4 less saturated fat
2/3 more vitamin A
2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
3 times more vitamin E
7 times more beta carotene
4 to 6 times as much vitamin D
