These organic eggs are local, free-range, pastured, and farm fresh.
Each dozen eggs is a mix of white, brown and blue-shelled eggs. The blues are laid by Ameraucana chickens, which were bred in the 1970s from the Araucana chickens that originated in Chile and the Falklands. Some experts believe that this is the only chicken breed that is original to the Americas.
Ang’s parents hatch and raise this flock of chickens, and feed them certified organic, non-GMO feeds. The chickens get the very best treatment — they are free-range and pastured, treated with love, and fed on a diversified diet. We find that this makes for the richest tasting eggs that are full of flavour.
The egg shells range in colour from white, through pale blue, a darker green-blue, to brown.
The eggs are freshly-laid within a day or two before arriving at your doorstep. Since the flock is small, we have a limited quantity available.
As hens age, the eggs they lay gradually increase in size. Our flock includes a range of hen ages, and we don’t sort the eggs by size — so each dozen of your eggs will vary slightly in size, from medium to large eggs.
We think you’ll love the unique colours, and the organic farm-fresh flavour!
Temporary shortage: we have been working to increase our egg production, and the Ameraucana chickens are much slower egg-layers than our other chickens. At the moment we don’t have enough blue eggs to include them in every dozen. We apologize for the shortage — we’re raising more Ameraucanas and will have more blue eggs soon.
$9.95 / dozen, or $24.95 for 3 dozen (save 16.4%).
