Pastured Eggs
Coming soon!
We are rebuilding our flock and will be working through NPIP certifications to ensure the health and safety of our laying hens. Eggs will be available once the girls are done with their winter rest!
Pastured eggs come from hens that are raised on pasture, allowing them to roam outdoors and engage in natural behaviors, such as foraging for insects and plants. This outdoor access typically results in a diet richer in nutrients compared to conventionally raised hens. Pastured eggs are often noted for their vibrant orange yolks, which indicate higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins, particularly vitamin D.
The flavor of pastured eggs is often described as richer and more robust than that of factory-farmed eggs. Additionally, raising hens in a pasture-based system promotes animal welfare, as the birds have more space to move freely and enjoy a more natural environment.
