Shelton Farms

Local farm pasture raised meats. We offer a unique pasture based laying flock, focused on nutrient dense eggs. A TRUE free range hen, the hen house is moved on a regular schedule to fresh pasture.

Hens allowed to graze on pasture actually create healthier eggs. The following data was taken from a study done by Mother Earth News. Compared to a commercial egg, Pasture eggs have:

1/3 less cholesterol
1/4 less saturated fat
2/3 more vitamin A
twice the amount of omega-3
3 times more vitamin E
7 times more beta carotene
(some studies show more vitamin D)

All eggs are not created equal!
