It’s that time of year again 🥵🔥
Everything has dried off out at the farm, and you may start to notice a change in the colour of our egg yolks.
The colour of our yolks naturally changes with the seasons and is largely influenced by what our girls are eating. 🌱🐔
In spring, our hens have plenty of lush green grass, plants and bugs to supplement their diet, which can give their yolks that beautiful deep golden colour. But as the paddocks dry off, there’s less fresh greenery and fewer bugs around, so our yolks can naturally become a little paler.
It’s simply a reflection of what’s growing (or not growing!) on the land. 🌾
And don’t worry, a paler yolk doesn’t mean a lower-quality egg. Yolk colour is primarily influenced by the pigments in the hens’ diet and isn’t a reliable indicator of the freshness, quality or overall nutritional value of the egg.
So next time you crack one of our eggs and notice the yolk looks a little different, know that it’s just Mother Nature doing her thing. 💛
One of the things we love most about farming is that our eggs change with the seasons, because they truly come from the land, and our girls are living with the seasons too. 🐔🌾
