Pasture-raised USDA Certified Organic eggs Vital Farms & Pasture Verde
No matter which of our pasture-raised eggs were talking about, we start with the very same natural pastures, pastures never treated with herbicides, pesticides or artificial fertilizers. Keeping our birds on fresh pasture is a labor-intensive process on some farms we move the hens at night onto new areas, on others we move the fencing when the girls arent looking. Regular rotation keeps our pastures resilient and covered in vegetation and naturally fertilized by the ladies themselves!

(1,975 posts)1. Havent paid for eggs in 3 years.
I dont plan on paying for eggs in the future either. Got my own little flock of chickens, Guinea's, and one turkey thrown in for good measure. I plan on getting a goat this spring and I plan on starting on making my own cheese. Next summer after some studying up we will be purchasing 2 oe 3 beehives for our garden.
