Pullet eggs can be very small. They are from hens that are under a year old and have been laying for a few months. From pasture raised hens that eat a chemical-free corn & soy free feed.

Every carton comes with a sell by date. The eggs should last at least 6 weeks past that date.

Creamy yellow yolks and sturdy whites make these eggs the pinnacle of kitchen staples. Our truly pastured eggs have buttery and bright notes that will enhance everything. Try scrambled eggs cooked in cream, or sunny side up eggs with sausage. Make egg salad for a sandwich or deviled eggs. Thicken up your pudding or custard or ice cream with the yolks, and use the whites to make a yummy angel food cake or merengue. Or use them for baking, whether a quiche or your next birthday cake!

The chickens are fed GMO-free, corn-free, and soy-free feed. The feed contains a specially formulated blend of of oats, rolled wheat, peas, alfalfa hay leaves, barley, fishmeal, sesame meal, raw liquid goat whey, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics.
*Please note that we typically do not add colorants to the feed, even natural ones like marigold and paprika. So, you will notice paler yolks in the colder months and darker yolks in the warmer months when the hens are foraging for fresh greens.

Are the laying hens vaccinated?
Nope. They're not vaccinated at all.
Are the eggs washed? What are they washed in?
Our eggs are washed in water and only water.
Why? In Europe, vaccines for chickens are mandatory but egg washing is not. That's why European eggs are NOT found in the refrigerated section of supermarkets. In the United States, vaccines are optional but egg washing is mandatory. Since washing removes the protective bloom on the egg (making the shells permeable and more susceptible to spoiling), that's why American eggs are refrigerated. Many farms use soaps or chemicals to wash their eggs. We use only water.
