Fresh Eggs

When was the last time you tasted a really fresh egg-one with a high yolk that was a deep, rich yellow and a white that stayed together in a plump circle instead of running all over the frying pan?  If your answer is “I guess I never have or I can’t remember,” it’s time to try these.  These eggs are special!

You may get an egg with 2 yolks.  The yolk may be a dark yellow and have a richer taste, the white may be thicker and the whole egg hold together more firmly than you’ve seen.  That’s because these chickens have had access to a more naturally nutritious diet than commercial hens, and the egg shows it.  
   
The heritage breeds (Moran, Welsomer, and Americauna)  have been selected for their hardiness, consistent egg production, and shell colors ranging from browns to pale greens and blues.
   
What’s missing from this picture?  Antibiotics or hormones, pesticides, unnecessary confinement, chlorinated water, multiple egg washings & re-dating are not part of producing these eggs.  You may find some dirt on a shell...just wash it before using.  Eggs are not pre-washed in order to preserve their freshness.  You may wash them before using.
