Our Eggs

Ethically Raised, Naturally Healthy

Our hens are raised the way chickens are meant to live—with space to roam, fresh air, sunlight, and a natural diet. They are not confined to crowded barns or artificial environments. Our eggs are often laid just days before you get them, while many store-bought eggs are already weeks old by the time they reach your kitchen.
Healthy, low-stress chickens produce better eggs—plain and simple.

 Unwashed Eggs — The Way Nature Intended

Our eggs are unwashed, which means they still have their natural protective coating, called the bloom. This invisible layer helps seal the shell and keep bacteria out.

In many parts of Europe and around the world, eggs are not washed or refrigerated at all. They are safely kept at room temperature because the bloom is left intact—just as nature designed.

In the United States, most store-bought eggs are washed as part of large-scale processing. While this is done for safety in high-volume systems, it also removes the bloom. Once that protective layer is gone, the egg becomes more vulnerable and must be refrigerated to stay safe.

That difference comes down to how the eggs are produced:

• Large dirty commercial operations handle eggs in bulk, where washing is necessary

• Small, carefully managed flocks can produce clean eggs that don’t require that process

What this means for you:

• Our eggs stay naturally protected longer

• You have flexibility in how you store them

• You’re getting eggs in a more natural, unprocessed state

Freshness & Storage Guidelines

• Countertop (unwashed): at least 2–3 weeks, often longer depending on conditions

• Refrigerated: 1–2+ months

• For best results, store in a cool, stable environment

• Wash only right before use, not before storing

**About the float test:
You may have seen videos claiming that if an egg floats, it’s bad. That’s not entirely accurate.

The float test is actually an indicator of age, not safety. As an egg ages, moisture slowly escapes through the shell, and air enters, making it more buoyant.

• Fresh eggs: sink and lay flat

• Older eggs: may stand upright

• Very old eggs: may float

A floating egg isn’t automatically bad—but it is older. In fact, we get some customers requesting eggs that are several weeks old because they are easier to peel when hard-boiled. That is why store-bought eggs peel better; they are much older than fresh eggs.

When in doubt, crack it into a separate bowl and check for any off smell before using.
