Our Free-Range Eggs
Free-range eggs contain 3-6 times the amount of vitamin D than those bought in the typical supermarket. In a study in the journal Food Chemistry, researchers have found that the egg yolks from chickens allowed to roam outdoors contain 30 percent more vitamin D than those from chickens who are kept in battery cages. The team tested the contents of 270 eggs for sale in the U.K. and found that the eggs of caged hens produced 1.7 mcg (micrograms) of vitamin D, while free-range and organic eggs contain 2.0 mcg and 2.2 mcg, respectively. To note, the recommended daily intake of vitamin D is 10 mcg for adults, and between 7 mcg to 8.5 mcg for children.

Free Range Eggs
Our Hens are producing about 10-20 dozen/day but we would like to increase our flock so we can get between 20-40 dozen/day. We currently sell them directly from our farm at 31 Frog Hollow Rd. The price is currently $7.50/Dozen for free range vegetarian and grain feed chicken eggs. Please come at anytime to our farmstand and help yourself.
We also feed our (Hens) Poultry Vitamins for at least the first year to keep very healthy birds in our flock.
Nutritional Differences of Free-Range Eggs
Eggs from chickens who are roaming free have been compared with USDA certified eggs from caged hens in several studies. The free-range hens’ eggs contain 1/3 less cholesterol and 1/4 less saturated fat. Their yolks are much darker owning to the fact that there is up to 7 times more beta carotene in them.
There is also 2/3 more vitamin A and up to three times the amount of vitamin E. One nutrient in which more people are becoming deficient is vitamin D. Free-range eggs contain 3-6 times the amount of vitamin D than those bought in the typical supermarket.
Eat the Yolk or Just the White of an Egg?
While many dietitians tell you to only eat the white of the egg, they are basing their research on nutritional levels from caged hens...
