“We believe our eggs taste so good because our pasture-raised hens live happy, healthy lives!

If you’ve never cracked open a pasture-raised egg, your culinary life is about to change.”

“While it’s true that a hen’s earlobe color will tell you what color their eggs will be, that’s not the reason behind the color. An egg’s color is determined by the breed. Most of our hens are Hy-line Browns — and it’s in their genetics to lay brown eggs.”

“All of the family farms in our supply network provide outdoor pasture access to their girls during the warmer months, an average of 200 days a year.

“Yes! Family farms are an essential part of our mission to bring ethically produced food to the table. The family farmers who produce our butter are located in the island of Ireland.
