Pastured Eggs
Why pasture raised chickens produce better eggs…
Grass-fed/pastured hens are raised on pasture, as opposed to being kept in confinement and fed primarily grains. Eggs from pastured hens contain up to 20 times more healthy omega-3 fatty acids than their less fortunate cousins, factory hens. Pastured eggs also have 10 percent less fat, 40 percent more vitamin A, and 34 percent less cholesterol than eggs obtained from factory farms.
Pastured hens’ diets are naturally complemented with bugs, earthworms, and other such critters that give their eggs a huge nutritious oomph. Pastured hens are usually much healthier and happier than their space-restricted and antibiotic-pumped industrial cousins. In addition to being healthier for you, pasturing is also ecologically sustainable and the most humane way to produce eggs.
At the Cumming Harvest we offer pastured eggs from several local families. They are all fed GMO free grains and some are certified naturally grown using an organic feed. If you haven’t tried true pastured raised eggs, give them a try, not only are they better for you but the taste is superior to that of store bought eggs.
