Our eggs come from a small flock of heritage breed hens who spend their days foraging on open pasture in Danville. They scratch for bugs, eat greens, dust-bathe in the sun, and live the way chickens are supposed to live. The result is eggs with rich, deep-colored yolks and a flavor that grocery store eggs simply can't match.
When a hen lays an egg, she deposits a thin, invisible protein coating called the bloom (or cuticle) on the shell. This natural layer seals the 7,000+ pores in the eggshell, keeping bacteria out and moisture in.
Commercial egg operations machine-wash their eggs with chemical sanitizers, which strips the bloom entirely. Once the bloom is gone, the egg has lost its natural defense and deteriorates much faster.
We follow the European standard: we never wash off the bloom. Across Europe, fresh eggs are sold clean but unwashed so the cuticle stays intact as nature intended. We dry-brush our eggs by hand to keep that natural seal — then we go one step further and gather and refrigerate every single day, so you get the best of both worlds: a naturally protected egg, kept cold and fresh from our coop to your kitchen.
Every carton is a mix of egg colors from our heritage breed flock. The color of the shell is determined by the breed of the hen — and we've chosen ours for a palette you won't find in any store.
By the time a grocery store egg reaches your kitchen, it can be 30 to 60 days old. USDA grading allows eggs to be sold up to 30 days after packing — and they may have been laid days before that.
Our eggs are gathered the same day they're laid, cleaned by hand, packed into cartons, and available within hours. You won't find a fresher egg unless you raise the hens yourself.
Our hens forage freely on open pasture, eating a natural diet of insects, worms, grasses, clover, and whatever they scratch up. We supplement with a high-quality layer feed to ensure balanced nutrition, along with oyster shell for strong eggshells and grit for digestion.
No antibiotics, no hormones (which are federally prohibited in poultry anyway), no animal byproducts in their feed. Just real food for real chickens producing real eggs.
