Eggs

eggsYou will notice several differences right away about our eggs. First is the color of the shell, the reason for this is we like variety and just think it is more fun to have all different kinds of chickens around. Many of the hens come from heirloom breeds, some of which are listed as endangered by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. When you crack open one of our eggs you will see a huge yolk that is bright yellow, almost orange, this is because our hens have high levels of beta carotene in the forage they eat. You will notice a wonderful rich egg flavor when you eat these eggs. We are not a big commercial farm and have not graded the eggs for uniform size, color and shape, we hope you will enjoy the variety since each hen lays her own very special egg.
