Our hens have started laying light brown EXTRA LARGE size Grade A eggs from our Domminque and other heritage type chickens. We let our chickens free-range in a greenhouse which we attached to our barn. We allow our hens to graze on pasture in the afternoons. (We have a problem with a raskley chicken hawk that hangs around in the mornings) Our feed is a laying mix bought locally. We also feed greens from the garden each day. Overall I feel that we produce a quality product at a fair price. The chickens have a quality stress free life and produce great eggs.

Superior, extra delicious and nutrient dense eggs. You will see and taste the difference! Now fed soy-free and non-GMO! Truly free-range. Our chicken eggs come from heritage dual purpose birds that we keep for their eggs. We choose our breeds for their hardiness to lay through winter and ability to free range and supplement their grains with insects and grass. Broad River Pastures is dedicated to saving heritage breeds to protect the diversity of our food supply. The egg shells are a light pinkish brown and the yolks are a bright orange. These are nutrient dense due to an exceptional soy-free diet supplemented with mineral rich kelp and probiotics. They forage on 9 acres of pasture for greens and insects. We do not feed antibiotics. The chickens are safely cooped from dusk to dawn but spend their daylight hours on 1 1/2 acres of pasture they share with ducks and goats. Belle and Buddy, our Livestock Guardian Dogs, and Cody, our English Shepherd, watch over them and guard against predators such as coyotes, fox, raccoons, and hawks. Extra large eggs weigh 2 1/4 ounces or more. Thank you for supporting Broad River Pastures.

Truly free ranged and no antibiotics in our ducks! Delicious and nutritious Grade A mixed sizes. Our ducks enjoy free range over 3 acres, including their own pond. They are fed a soy-free diet. The delicious eggs have deep orange-yellow creamy yolks and thick, firm, glossy whites. Use them in any recipe where you would use chicken eggs. Especially good for anything requiring whipped whites or for baking to provide an exceptional product. If you or anyone in your family is allergic to chicken eggs, you can substitute our duck eggs (check with your physician). Our Khaki Campbell hens are lovingly tended in our pasture. At dark the ducks march in a line into their safe hen house for extra protection and to have a clean, dry place to lay their eggs before dawn. A customer recently wrote me: The duck eggs really are amazing. I cooked a couple over-easy for Derek on Saturday, and he was astounded at the yolk. He exclaimed, "They're like Cadbury eggs!" LOL They are very creamy and delicious. :)

Have you ever made Lemon Balm Pesto? These are the leaves you need for that recipe - the Lemon Balm or Lemon Mint plant. Commonly called by its Latin first name, Melissa (Greek for honeybee), its sweet citrusy lemon scent is often used in gardens to attract bees. It's a perfect tea herb to grow for steaming hot mugs or tall cold glasses of natural lemon-scented iced tea. Little sprigs make attractive, edible garnishes for fruit drinks and sherbets. It blends well with other herbs, adds a mild citrus tang to salads, and makes an excellent alternative to Spearmint. It is also frequently paired with fruit dishes or candies. It can be used in fish dishes. MEDICINAL USES: crushed leaves, when rubbed on the skin, are used as a repellant for mosquitos (the leaves contain Citronella). It is popular as a treatment for influenza, insomnia and nervous stomach. The Arabs introduced it as medicinal herb as a tea that was taken for anxiety and depression and lemonbalm is still known in France as a remedy for fatigue and headaches. The Greek physician Dioscorides wrote about it being used for scorpions stings and insect and dog bites.

Oregano (a close relative to sweet marjoram) is a hardy perennial herb. An important culinary herb, Oregano is used for the flavor of its leaves (more flavourful when dried than fresh). It has an aromatic, warm and slightly bitter taste, which can vary in intensity. Good quality oregano may be strong enough to almost numb the tongue. The herb is widely used in Italian, Turkish, Palestinian, Syrian, Greek, Portuguese, Spanish, Philippine and Latin American cuisines. I have a friend who swears by the goodness of garden oregano seeds improving the flavor of his hamburgers.
