Pasture Raised Eggs

All of our happy hens are pasture raised all day long, all that sunshine and greenery leads to much brighter orange yolks than store bought eggs. We don’t get as many eggs as all white layers would produce but there’s something deeply pleasing about looking at our rainbow boxes of eggs.

We know our cartons are unique but don’t forget to return them for a discount, we promise to give you another one.

What's Up With The Strange Colors ?

Easter composition with colorful chicken and quail eggs in rustic style, vintage wooden background, selective focus

Egg color is strictly dependent upon breed, all eggs are start exactly the same way the color is simply added in the last step. Egg color has absolutely no affect on taste, and hens whom lay blue eggs simply have a gene that the color comes out more blue than brown.

Why don’t I see colored eggs in the store then ?

Commercial egg mega farms produce more than 90% of all US consumer Eggs, the breed they use almost exclusively lay white eggs (Leghorn) and have been selectively breed to lay 7 eggs a week for more than two years. These farms can run on margins that no normal farm could and consistently undercut other producers that is why white eggs are ALWAYS cheaper than any other color.

Brown egg layers are not as prolific laying about 6 eggs a week on average while breeds that lay blue, green and even pink only average 3-5 eggs per week. So for commercial mega farms its an obvious choice.

In the end however, we just feel there’s something special about our little rainbow packages of eggs, and we think you will too.

WHAT ARE PASTURE RAISED HENS ?

USDA Terms :

Caged: Hens are confined to cages with a 67-square inch space each. They never see the light of day and consume a corn or soy diet. Over 90 percent of eggs in the U.S. come from hens that are kept in cages for their entire egg-laying lives.

Cage-Free: These ladies have more room than caged hens, since each is given less than 1 square foot. Still, they’re not entirely “free,” since they’re confined to barns and consume a corn or soy diet.

Free-Range: Allotted less than 2 square feet per hen, these animals have more space than their caged and cage-free peers, but they don’t get outdoors as much as you may think. Some seldom get to see the light of day and many eat a corn- or soy-based feed.

Pasture-Raised: These ladies are given at least 108 square feet each and consume some feed and lots of grass, bugs, worms and anything else they can find in the dirt. They tend to be let out of the barns early in the morning and called back in before nightfall.
