Free-range, pastured chickens lay beautiful eggs - a sign that the days are getting longer and that spring is slowly on its way! Our hens free-range on 3 acres of pasture and woodlands protected by "Homer", our Wooly mini-donkey! Grade A Large eggs vary in color: chocolate, brown, green, and white! Why so many colors? Well because of the diversity of our flock, which includes Cuckoo and Black Copper Marans, Buff Orpingtons, Ameraucanas, Black Australorps, Silver-Laced Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, Speckled Sussex, and White Leghorns.

Say what?!? Yes, we are now offering free-range, pasture raised chicken eggs! These eggs sold out at EVERY market in the 2014 & 2015 season! Our chickens live out in the fields year round following behind our pasture raised beef. This is a part of sustainable agriculture. As we move the chickens behind the cows - they act like a pest control eating all the bugs that follow the cows. The yolks of our eggs are deep orange hue to their high protein diet of bugs! The chickens are supplemented with a hormone free & GMO free feed to ensure that they have all the nutrients they need to produce delicious and nutritious eggs!

When you open a carton of our eggs, you will find mostly brown eggs (from Barred Rock and Jersey Giant), maybe one or two white eggs (some Leghorn hens hatched as a homeschool project) or maybe something in between from some of our random hens. Our flock is raised on a quadrant system so that we can switch pasture areas while utilizing the same central coop. This helps to reduce wear on the pasture and provides an opportunity for the grass and bugs to recover. We also have fruit trees planted in the quadrants (fig, apple, blackberry, pear) that the chickens snack from as well. Diet is also supplemented with Layena feed that has no animal derived protein. All plant based. You can check us out on Instagram @restorationpastures.

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.

Some of my older hens are showing off. They are consistently laying eggs of 2.5+ ounces. Most are brown, but there are some blues and pinks as well. They are NOT double yolkers -- just bigger than the average egg.

Curious about duck eggs, but not willing to invest in a full dozen? How about a "try it" size? If you don't like them on their own, you can hide the remaining ones in a cake, and no one will be the wiser. Come on. . . just give them a try.

DOZEN jumbo size (3.0oz plus by weight) duck eggs. The ducks are Peking, Rouen and Khaki Campbell. In Spain, during my military service, I learned that Europeans use duck eggs in their baking, and it does make a difference. Because the whites of duck eggs have more protein than those of chicken eggs, they will whip up higher when beaten and create more loft (a better crumb) in cakes . This means lighter, higher cakes. Since the yolks are so rich, your cakes may also be richer with duck eggs. Solution: leave out the yolks if you don't need the extra fat (generally you use twice the egg white if not cooking with yolks). When adjusting for duck eggs: a large chicken egg is 2oz with shell & 1.75oz without shell [see Nutritional Info for adjustments]. My duck eggs will have a clear albumin and bright yellow yolk that stands up above the egg white. I only sell cleanly laid eggs (in a straw nest versus on the open ground or mud nest) to my customers. These ducks are my pets, so be assured that they are well cared for. I PACK THE EGGS AS A COMBO OF SIZES FROM 2.50 oz to 3.25 oz. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS. I do supplement their green diet with a prepared feed that does NOT have any medications or additives. CAUTION: The risk of getting a foodborne illness from eggs is very low. However, the nutrients that make eggs a high-quality food for humans are also a good growth medium for bacteria. In addition to food, bacteria also need moisture, a favorable temperature and time in order to multiply and increase the risk of illness. In the rare event that an egg contains bacteria, you can reduce the risk by proper chilling and eliminate it by proper cooking. When you handle eggs with care, they pose no greater food-safety risk than any other perishable food.

Glory is a lacy green and cream French frisee endive with a crisp, nutty flavor. It is delicious with potatoes, fish and, as always, as a salad alone or mixed. I harvest them young, so they are don't have a real bite to the leaves. Many people like it with warmed dressing poured over the chilled leaves.
