Farm fresh brown eggs from happy free-range/pastured chickens more

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.

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.

Fermented tomatoes are considered a treat in Russia! We fermented some beautiful sweet Organic cherry tomatoes to make it a bite-size treat. They are so delicious in soups (don't cook them, just put them on top when you are serving it), as a condiment for meat dishes or just by itself.

We tried to make Ella Truth a glorious flower garden of her own this year. It is much smaller and scrappier than we planned, but yields some pretty flowers that we have never grown before. This bouquet will be a mix of whatever she has looking it's best in her small flower garden. Bouquet may include celosia, rudbeckia, amaranth, larkspur, snapdragon, ageratum, sunflower and zinnia.

How about a sprig of mint in a hot drink? Sprigs of mint in a spring bouquet? Or even a few springs of mint left near a air conditioning outlet or in a bowl of hot water for just a hint of something in the air. I'll pick fresh from the garden 20 healthy springs (at least 8 inches long) of beautiful mint. The tops can be used for their beauty, and the bottoms can be used for fragrance. Mentha spicata (Spearmint - named for its pointed leaves) is a species of mint native to much of Europe and southwest Asia. Spearmint was revered by ancient Romans for its ability to "stir up the mind" and it is still used as a medicinal tea, fragrance and oil.

Multi-purpose. Second season for this apple. NEVER sprayed, so you will see the normal fungal cover on the skin. Firm flesh which starts off white and fades to beige. Starts sweet, but flavor intensifies and lasts a long time. Good for dried apples, salad apples, and just about any way you like apples. I save you the pretty ones, fresh off the tree.
