Pastured Eggs

Happy Chickens, Healthy Eggs

Our chickens live a life of freedom and comfort, enjoying the great outdoors as they roam and forage on fresh pasture. We have happy chickens who enjoy being moved every few days onto fresh pasture around the farm, this benefits not only the chickens but also the environment.

What are the Benefits of Pastured Eggs?

Pastured eggs, produced by chickens that roam freely on pasture, offer a range of benefits that make them a superior choice over conventional eggs.

Nutritional Value

Pastured eggs are richer in essential nutrients compared to conventional eggs. Studies have shown that eggs from pasture-raised hens contain:

• Higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health.
• More vitamins, including Vitamin A, D, and E.
• Increased levels of antioxidants which support eye health.
• Better overall nutrient density, providing more nourishment per egg.

Enhanced Flavour and Quality

Many people find that pastured eggs taste better as the yolks are often a deeper orange, indicating a diet rich in natural forage, which contributes to a richer, more robust flavour. The texture of the whites is firmer, making them ideal for cooking and baking.

Animal Welfare

Chickens raised on pasture have a higher quality of life. They can engage in natural behaviours such as pecking, scratching, and dust-bathing.

Lower Risk of Contaminants

Pastured eggs have a lower risk of contamination from harmful bacteria like Salmonella. The cleaner, more natural environment of pasture-based systems reduces the likelihood of disease
