Re: Pastured, organic eggs in St. ?

December 28, 2011

I keep my own flocks because I wanted better eggs than I could buy from readily

available sources. My extra eggs are all spoken for at the moment but I have

another flock that will start laying in January so by late January or so I

should have quite a few dozen available per week.

The eggs are from truly pastured hens on 5 acres of completely chemical free

land. They are 100% SOY FREE. In addition to foraging, their diet is 100%

certified organic feed (field peas are the protein source instead of soy) and

soaked/sprouted whole grains. For Omega 3 enhancement, they are fed organic

golden flax, fishmeal certified for organic use, and my own homegrown duckweed

which has an amino profile as good as animal protein and is provend to boost

Omega 3 in eggs. Their water is from a tested, mineral rich well. I get $5 per

dozen.

We routinely eat them raw. One of my 3 year old little girl's favorite things

is when mommy gives her the extra yolks left over from baking. Just a sprinkle

of salt and pepper and she gobbles them up. The yolks are a orange to deep

orange and so strong that you can handle them like little balls without breaking

them. Well fed hens produce amazing eggs!
