What's the deal with store bought eggs?
Store bought eggs are usually purchased by the consumer at 8 weeks old. The nutritional value of the egg has seriously depleted in that time. Eggs are washed, to ensure a perfect product, and the egg begins to break down. Farm fresh eggs have a deep orange yolk, and taste very rich. Once you eat a farm fresh egg, it's hard to go back!
Fertilized eggs
While we do sell fertilized eggs, the eggs you receive are from hens that have never been exposed to a rooster. This means that no matter how hard you try, you cannot get a baby chick from your eggs! Our roosters are house far from our hens to ensure there is never any crossover.
Sweating eggs
In the refrigerate versus don't refrigerate debate, whatever choice you make must be final. If you take cold eggs and leave them on the counter, they begin to sweat. When eggs sweat, it increases the chance of bacterial growth. This bacterial growth can make you sick! Make sure you are sure about your decision! You can move room temperature eggs to the refrigerator, but you cannot take them back out and leave them out!
Blood spots
Blood spot in eggs is uncommon, but they are very safe to eat! A bloodspot simply means that the hens ovary had a vessel rupture during the egg laying process. If desired, the blood spot can be scraped off. This is also not an indicator that the egg was fertilized, it's just a ruptured blood vessel! We promise they are safe!
Colors
Eggs come in a variety of different colors. The color of the egg is determined by the breed of hen that lays it! We have a variety of egg colors such as light brown, dark brown, light pink, army green, light green, light blue, and white eggs! The color of the egg has nothing to do with the flavor. All eggs taste the same, regardless of color! The most common color you will see here is a light brown egg!

Egg Update
We genuinely care for and love our chickens. Because of this, we do not keep lights in their coops to stimulate egg overproduction. We allow them to molt and take their biologically appropriate break from laying. We are currently NOT SELLING EGGS until spring!
