Item Description

Receive one dozen fresh eggs delivered monthly from April- August from chickens raised by one of our own MI families.

These chickens are truly free-range, organically-fed, and humanely raised. Unlike the eggs you buy in the grocery store that can have confusing or misleading labels, these eggs come from happy chickens who spend their day foraging in the backyard. They are fed an organic soy free chicken feed as well.

From the bright orange yolk that sits high on the whites, to the thicker albumin layer, you will see and taste the difference in these eggs. Studies have shown that backyard chicken eggs have many benefits over store bought eggs because the chickens consume green leafy plants and vegetables.

Compared to store bought eggs, Backyard Eggs:

have 1/3 less cholesterol
have 4-6 times more Vitamin D (from all the sun they get)
have 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

The chickens in this flock are different breeds than those typically used for store production, so in addition to brown eggs, each dozen will contain at least 4 blue-green eggs from Easter egger chickens.
