Our customers LOVE and rave about our delicious eggs! A carton will contain an assortment of sizes from medium to jumbo.
Did you know that chickens are omnivores and would never willingly choose a vegetarian diet?!
During the growing season, our laying hens are moved around our pastures in an "egg-mobile" (a converted holiday trailer). The hens spend their days outside, scratching and pecking for bugs and vegetation, The egg-mobile has nesting boxes where the chickens lay eggs, as well as roosting bars which they use at night to roost on.
Once the chickens are trained to return to the egg-mobile at night, they can be moved all around the different pastures on our property.
The hens are very useful for cleaning up pastures after the cows have eaten the grass down. The chickens will de-bug the pastures for us, making them cleaner (less parasites) for the next time the cows are rotated around to graze the area! This is a symbiotic relationship, benefitting the laying hens, the cows, and the pasture.
The delicious, golden-yolked eggs are a by-product of the system.
In addition to the fresh greens and bugs from the pasture, they are fed a GMO-free, mostly-organic mix of fermented grains consisting of wheat, peas, barley, oats, and sunflower seeds.
In the winter when they don't have access to fresh pasture, we bring the hens and egg-mobile into the yard and add greens with the daily addition of sprouted barley (called "fodder") and alfalfa hay.
A carton of our golden-yolked eggs taste better and are healthier than anything you will find in the grocery store. Try them today!
