FARM EGGS
Poultry
eggs available seasonally.
Chicken, duck, and goose eggs for eating and hatching from our mixed flock of free-ranging poultry.
Our poultry is cooped at night for safety and let out in the morning to free-range our farm and pastures all day until dusk when they instinctively go back to the coop to roost for the night.
While they are free-ranging they are happily scratching for bugs and greens, dust-bathing in their favorite spots or resting in the shade of the many old orchard trees and hawthorn bushes.
We feed poultry food and scratch from a local Idaho mill.
Our goal is to raise and grow our food as naturally and humanely as possible. We use a natural, organic, chemical-free preventative routine to keep our animals healthy, happy and thriving! Natural non-distilled Apple Cider Vinegar has many health benefits to man and beast and we add it monthly to our poultry drinking water. We also use organic coconut oil sprays and feed the chickens grated raw coconut and coconut milk as part of our routine parasite prevention. We do not use hormones, subtherapeutic antibiotics or steroids.
We occasionally have hatching eggs, excess hens, roosters and farm-bred poultry available for sale.
Discounts available for 4-H kids.

Farm Fresh Eggs Information
Thanks to a 2007 study by Mother Earth News that took egg samples from 14 different flocks, we have some pretty good data to back up the claim that free range or pastured eggs are better for you. Here are some of the benefits:
Less Cholesterol: According to the study there was 1/3 less cholesterol in the free-range eggs. This is good news for an egg lover like me who also has a family history of high cholesterol.
Less Saturated Fat: Mother Earth News found 25% less saturated fat in the pastured chicken eggs. Saturated fat is a buzz word in the food world now, with reason, so anything with less is always a plus.
More Vitamin A and E: Vitamin A helps in all sorts of areas including vision, skin health, immune function, and so much more. There isn't as much information out there on Vitamin E, but I think we can assume it does have a purpose.
Extra Omega-3s: We are constantly learning more about the Omega-3s, but there has already been a lot of research pointing to benefits for people with heart concerns. Double the Omega-3s is a good thing!
