Our spring chicks are now laying! We are getting up to 28 eggs a day… whew! Beautiful eggs, great for any meal of the day! Pancakes, Egg Salad, Fritatta or a delightful Quiche… these eggs will nourish your body (maybe even your soul!)!
According to Mother Earth News, free range pastured eggs contain
- 1/3 less cholesterol
- 1/4 less saturated fat
- 2/3 more vitamin A
- 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
- 3 times more vitamin E
- 7 times more beta carotene
than their supermarket counterparts.
Their most recent round of testing focused on vitamin D content, which they found was 4 to 6 times higher in eggs from pastured hens than from supermarket eggs.
Come on out and visit our Farm Store today for fresh eggs and pastured whole chickens! We have quite a variety of weights/sizes right now (from 2.5 lbs. to 4.75 lbs.).
