free-range eggs
Available now
$5/dozen. Our mixed flock of free-range hens produces some of the tastiest eggs our customers have ever eaten. They have full run of our 70-acre farm, and the bright colour of their yolks reflects the varied diet they enjoy. Their free-range diet is complimented with certified organic feed. An egg share is available to all vegetable CSA members at a cost of $90 per season for a dozen eggs and $50 for a 1/2 dozen eggs. The egg share corresponds with the 20 week CSA season from June-October.

1/4 less saturated fat
2/3 more vitamin A
Two times more omega-3 fatty acids
Three times more vitamin E
