I've asked Mike from Prairie Wind farms and he said that they do NOT use soy

in the chicken feed. Does anyone know about MVV?

Therese,

Thanks so much for letting me know about PWF eggs. I order those on a

regular basis and really like them a lot. I also love their yogurt,

btw. It's outstanding. I asked about the 's brand because I

still haven't found a cottage cheese without all the nasties in it.

I'll check Lakewinds and WF next time I'm there.

Janet, Thanks also for your reply. I'm not yet a member of MVV, but

I'm definitely keeping notes! I've tasted your raw cheeses and served

them to guests, and they are spectacularly wonderful

I would also like to know about the eggs that MOMS handles. Does

anyone know about them?

Thanks,

My response: As far as I'm concerned, there are no eggs better than MVV's eggs!

The chickens there are truly free-range- they run all over the place! They're

by the calves, by the hog, by the cows grazing in the pastures- they go where

bugs and other assorted goodies lurk! Last week, I even had my first ever

double-yolk egg. Outstanding color, outstanding taste, and the price is pretty

good at $2.75/dozen. I imagine in the winter, the chickens would get

supplementary feed, but knowing that the Brunners are WAPF-friendly, am

confident there is no soy in the feed!

Alright already!! Everyone talks about MVV eggs but I can never seem to get

any! ( said that the PWF eggs were a close second) I am busy with a

teething 9 month old and a " testing " 2 yr old. So I don't have time to make

any runs to MVV! If someone near me (No. Mpls) has an extra dozen sometime,

I'd love to see what all the hoopla is about. I pick up at Will's every

Thursday, if that helps.

I'm relatively new to this but very interested. How does one order from MVV

and what to they have available?

Therese,

I live in N. MPLS as well. Next time I get my MVV eggs I'll bring you

a dozen. My kids are now 6 and 4 but I've been there. ;-)

These two vendors sell soy-free pastured eggs (as well as pastured meat) at the

main Minneapolis farmers' market, including every other Saturday through the

winter.

Blue Gentian Farm

New Richmond, WI 54017

715-781-8169

bluegentianfarm.com

Bar 5

Arlington, MN 55307

507-964-5612

They may also sell at other markets -- may be worth it to ask.

The eggs we have at MVV are from chickens that do not consume soy.
