The hens spend their days gathering bugs and grass. They also have non-GMO feed available in the barn. Fresh rainwater is also available, no city water for these birds. In the winter, they still pick around outside, searching through the hay for goodies to eat. Egg production is lower this way but the quality is greatly increased. These eggs have bright orange yolks, the whites stand up, rich in flavor, and loaded with Omega -3 fatty acids. They are also a good source of lutein and zeaxanthin.
Real eggs are a seasonal product. In the spring, with increasing daylight, egg production goes up. It tapers down in the fall and winter production is even more limited.
Eggs are available, self serve, on the farm, in a cooler at the end of the drive. $3.50 a dozen. Come early they sell out fast!
