WHY FREE-RANGE EGGS? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simply put - free-range eggs are
just plain healthier! Our hens are allowed to range freely outside
during the daytime hours (we lock them in at night to protect against
predators). We use portable electric mesh fencing and frequently
rotate pastures for our flocks. Our hens eat a healthy diet of greens,
bugs, grubs, worms, grains, seeds and garden scraps - creating the most
nutritious eggs available! We use no antibiotics, harmful steroids or
growth hormones. If you are used to eating "store bought eggs", you
will definitely notice a real difference - the yolks are a rich, deep
yellow-gold and they stand up in the pan! If you would like to read up

Egg shares are available to our CSA customers only and are picked-up (or
delivered) weekly along with produce shares. Full egg share customers
will receive one dozen eggs per week and half share customers will receive
one dozen eggs every-other week throughout the standard CSA season.
