Chicken and Duck Eggs
These are the types of eggs we have and variety of ways we sell them. Our Chickens and Ducks lay very delicious eggs! Once you go farm fresh you can’t go back to store bought! Both chicken and duck eggs are great for cooking and baking. Many bakers prefer duck eggs due to their larger size and higher protein and fat content. The eggs are fertile so they can be incubated to raise your own chickens and ducks! Due to irregularities of the times and seasons when they lay, we will have times when we have an abundance to sell or times when we don’t have any available.

FAQs
Why choose farm fresh eggs?
When comparing farm fresh eggs to those that are store bought, there are many differences between them. You can probably tell the difference just by looking at the egg itself. Store bought eggs will typically just be white, while farm fresh eggs can be anywhere from white to even a shade of green. Farm fresh eggs tend to be much more flavorful than store bought because of the quality of life the hen has. A hen that is stressed and kept in small area with hundreds of other hens is not going to produce very flavorful, quality eggs. A hen that is free to roam around the farm, eat fresh grass and other food, and live a natural life will produce, brighter, richer, more vibrant yolks, and firm, clear whites. Color and consistency of the yolk and egg are largely due to the chicken's feed.
Are farm fresh eggs healthier?
Because hens are allowed to roam freely and eat fresh grass and better feed, the eggs reflect that diet. In terms of farm fresh eggs, they tend to have lower levels of cholesterol, less saturated fat, increased vitamins A, E, and D, more omega-3 fatty acids, and more beta carotene.
Do Farm fresh eggs need to be refrigerated?
That depends on if the eggs have been washed or not. Farm fresh eggs have a protective bloom covering them. As long as the egg has not been washed the bloom will protect the egg from contaminants and there for is shelf stable. I’ve come across anywhere from two weeks to three months as being safe on the counter. I would use your own discretion on this one. If the eggs has been washed with soap and or water then it needs to be used or refrigerated immediately. Once the bloom has been washed off the egg then loses its protection from bacteria.
