Pastured Hens Mean Yummy Eggs

Our hens spend their days chasing bugs, eating all manner of green plants (the nine months of the year that we have them), walking around in the sun, and taking dust baths in the cool, moist dirt behind the chicken house, besides their all important job - laying eggs.  This natural lifestyle, supplemented with fresh ground grains makes for some really delicious and very nutritious eggs!

The Benefits of Pasture Raised Eggs

A test conducted by Mother Earth News in 2007, comparing pasture raised eggs from 14 different flocks from around the country,  to official U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient data for commercial eggs netted some interesting results. The testing showed that pastured eggs may contain:

                           • 1/3 less cholesterol
 • 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

More recent test results found that pasture raised eggs contain 4-6 times more Vit D than average supermarket eggs. With nutrition like that, you can't go wrong adding fresh, pasture raised eggs to your diet!
