By the Dozen - Pasture Raised Eggs
Pick-Up at the Farm only. Thursdays 3-7pm.
So WHY buy Ridgemeade Pasture-Raised Eggs?
Pasture raised eggs taste better, look better, and have exponential nutritional superiority over USDA standard grocery store eggs. They are also ethically produced with truly pastured hens living happily, on fresh grass and under blue skies.
Lab tests have repeatedly shown that compared to USDA standard grocery store eggs, truly pasture raised eggs have:
1/3 LESS cholesterol
1/4 LESS saturated fat
2/3 MORE vitamin A
2 times MORE omega-3 fatty acids
3 times MORE vitamin E
7 times MORE beta carotene
Pasture raised is especially good for your body and especially good for the planet.
Pasturing our birds lets them express what Regenerative Agriculture guru Joel Salatin calls “The marvelous chicken-ness of chickens”. In other words, they live happy, health, stress-free lives over green pasture and under blue sky, joyfully expressing their nature foraging, making dust baths, and laying eggs. There isn’t a more ethical, more practical, or more harmonious method of farming on the planet.
Unlike most “free range” chickens who are allotted less than 3 feet square, our chickens are out in the open on fresh grass, sheltered from the wind and sky at their own choosing. They are given 1000 square foot areas of fresh pasture daily, protected from predators with portable electric poultry fences and guardian animals. Their copious quantities of fertilizer and ground scratching regenerate our fields and soils at exponential rates while industrial agriculture depletes soils.
