"Pastured"
simply means free range of a pasture. Since our farm is our home, it is
difficult and not profitable to let the poultry have free range of our
entire yard and garden space. Instead we rotate our flocks in large,
fresh pasture areas. Our birds have access to fresh |
| grass, air,
bugs, and sunshine everyday.
This is actually more beneficial than most "Free-range" systems, in
which birds are just packed into a warehouse. With the lack of
individual cages, they can be labeled "free range", but still do not
have the nutritional qualities of pastured eggs. In addition to
pasture, our birds receive a supplemental combination of cracked corn,
oats, oyster shell, grit and our custom grind feed that contains no
antibiotics or hormones. All our eggs have the healthy trademark of dark yellow/orange yolks. |
| The laying hen flock consists principally of the Americana, Black Australorp, Barred Rock, and Rhode Island Red breeds.
Americanas are known for their naturally colored eggs that are laid in
shades of blue, green, and pink. Let us assure you that they are no
different than any |

|
| other fresh egg. We find them very attractive, and kids just love blue eggs! |

Our laying duck breeds are
the Khaki Cambells and the Rouen mallards, which have been bred for
their prolific laying and amiable dispositions. While duck and
goose eggs may sound rather exotic, we think what few differences there
are are for the better. The pastry chefs of Europe |
prefer duck eggs for baking and we must agree -
duck eggs will make most baked goods fluffy and moist with a desirable
"spring", from pancakes to layer cakes. Other than that, duck and
goose eggs are slightly creamier in texture, and have a stiffer egg
white. One goose egg is equal to 2 chicken eggs in size.
Both duck, goose and guinea eggs have
extraordinarily hard shells. Duck and goose eggs are creamy colored,
and guinea eggs are dark brown with spots. |
