Why Choose Our Pastured Eggs?
Our hens live in a mobile hen house, also known as our “chicken RV.” This setup allows the hens to roam freely and enjoy fresh pasture, offering numerous benefits:
- Sustainable Farming: By moving the coop, we prevent overgrazing, giving the land time to recover naturally.
- Healthier Hens: Pasture-raised hens feed on grass, worms, and insects, providing them with a nutrient-rich diet.
- Cleaner Environment: The coop’s mobility makes cleaning and maintenance easy, ensuring a healthy space for the hens.
- Natural Fertilization: As the hens range freely, they fertilize the land, improving soil health.
The Health Benefits of Pastured Eggs
Eggs from our pasture-raised hens are healthier than supermarket eggs. Here’s why:
- More Nutrients:
- 2–3x more Vitamin A
- 2x more Omega-3 Fatty Acids
- 3x more Vitamin E
- 4–6x more Vitamin D
- 7x more Beta-Carotene
- Better Taste: Pastured eggs have thicker shells, darker, more flavorful yolks, and a richer overall taste.
The Economics of Raising Hens (“Egg-onomics”)
Raising hens is no small task, but we take pride in providing high-quality, sustainable eggs for our customers. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- A hen by the end of her second year, a may have laid a total of approximately 450–550 eggs in her lifetime.
- During this time, she consumes 200 pounds of feed, costing about $4.90 per dozen eggs just for feed.
- Add $0.62 per egg carton, and the cost rises to $5.52 per dozen before factoring in labor, bedding, shelter, and fencing.
Why do we do it?
We believe every farm should have chickens. They’re fun to watch, great for the land, and they produce eggs that are unmatched in quality and taste.
Join our Egg Share Program today and experience the difference of fresh, pasture-raised eggs! Your weekly dozen will not only taste better but will also support sustainable farming practices and happy, healthy hens.
Hens that allow to roam on pasture produce the healthiest eggs for us to eat. The eggs have the highest level of vitamins and Omega 3 Fatty Acids and the lowest levels of toxins and stress hormones as well as lower levels of cholesterol and saturated fat.
Our Eggs are NOT Graded
Our eggs are collected two to three times a day and cleaned. Our staff randomly selects 12 eggs out of the basket and places them in the carton making them ready for pick up.
An average egg (based on USDA average per egg weights) weighs 34 grams. The size of the individual egg is effected by several factors. Most of our eggs average closer to 45 -50 grams, or medium-sized. However, our mature hens only lay jumbo eggs, over 60 grams. The picture shows you the difference is size between a young pullet just starting to lay compare to an older hen.
