meat & eggs
Certified Organic, Pasture raised Eggs: Our fabulous brown eggs are from chickens pastured on our certified Biodynamic pastures. We grind our own organic custom mix of chicken ration to supplement their diet of bugs & grass & scraps from our own vegetable production. We procure the organic grains from other Nebraska farmers that certify organic. We sell our eggs direct to you on-farm year-round, as well as through Open Harvest in Lincoln & during May & June at Old Cheney Farmer’s Market in Lincoln. Certified organic eggs means they receive no antibiotics, hormones or GMO grains. We rotate the chicken houses throughout our pastures in moveable houses with portable fencing to protect them from wild animals & neighborhood dogs, as well as protect the produce from the chickens. They are an important part of our pest control management strategy (chickens love grasshoppers especially!) & forage makes up about 30 percent of their diet. We pack our eggs nest run -- this means mixed sizes in a carton. Carton weight total runs from medium (minimally) usually hedging towards large.
In Autumn 2010, we received an exemplary rating for our organic egg production by the Cornucopia institute...one of the top 12 so ranked egg producing farms in the US. Find more information about it here...http://www.cornucopia.org/organic-egg-scorecard/
