Our eggs are collected daily, and each one is individually candled and checked to ensure it is clean and free of cracks.

Most of our eggs are left unwashed to help preserve the egg’s natural protective coating, often called the “bloom.” We only wash eggs if there is a small amount on the shell that cannot be gently brushed away. Any heavily soiled eggs are kept for our family or fed to our livestock guardians rather than sold.

Because we refrigerate our eggs for safety and consistency, we recommend washing eggs with warm running water just before use if desired. Warm water is recommended because cold water can cause the contents of the egg to contract, which may pull unwanted bacteria through the shell.

Carton Returns

Egg cartons are a significant expense for small farms like ours, and each carton also takes time to label and prepare for sale.

When you return your clean, undamaged carton to us, it helps reduce waste, save time, and lower costs — and we’re happy to pass those savings back to you.

Bring back your carton and receive $1 off your next purchase for each clean, undamaged carton returned.

Thank you for helping us keep things simple, sustainable, and small-scale.

Why Our Farm Eggs Cost More

Our hens are raised outdoors with access to sunshine, fresh air, and certified organic feed from a small local mill. Every few months, we make the trip to Elgin, Texas to purchase the highest quality feed we can find because we believe what goes into our hens matters.

Small-scale farming and certified organic feed costs more — but we believe the difference is worth it.

We also know terms like “pasture-raised” can mean very different things, so we want to be transparent about how our hens are currently raised.

Right now, our flocks lives in several mobile “hoop coops” that are moved daily onto fresh pasture, allowing the hens regular access to new grass, bugs, and forage. We’re also in the process of expanding into larger free-range pasture pens while building additional secure nighttime housing for the flock.

The hoops coops that our hens currently live in will be used for our pastured meat birds!

Natural Variation Is Normal

Shell color, yolk color, and egg size naturally vary throughout the seasons and from hen to hen.

Many people associate darker yellow or orange yolks with a healthier or more nutritious egg, but yolk color is influenced largely by a hen’s diet and forage and is not, by itself, a reliable indicator of quality or nutrition.

Storage Tips

Keep refrigerated. For best quality, store eggs in their carton and avoid washing until ready to use.
