Fresh eggs from the farm are available daily in our 'egg room' inside the barn. You may pick them up any day 'self-serve' - just jot down your name on the log sheet, handpick your eggs from the counter, leave payment of $5/dozen in our 'egg payment only' container. The eggs are unwashed and should be refrigerated after they are washed. We find the eggs last about 4-5 weeks.
The heritage breed laying hens spend the warmer months outdoors on pasture where they can dig in the dirt, eat bugs, and enjoy the sunshine. They are moved inside the open barn in the winter months where they are free to run around. Chickens, unlike cattle, need some grains in their diet so the hens are fed organic non-GMO grains grown and mixed on the farm and free from antibiotics & hormones. The eggs are good source of omega 3 fats.
