Meet our newest flock members!

Out of this hatch, these two little ones have stolen our hearts—and they’re here to stay! 💛

Meet the newest permanent members of our farm family: tiny, fluffy, and already full of personality. From curious waddles to cozy snuggles, they’ve made it clear they belong right here at home. Mom doesn’t know what to think about them yet so for now they are warm and cozy in the house.

They love to play in their water bowl, nap, and cuddle on shoulders 🦆

Now that you know all the incredible benefits and easy storage tips, why not experience the difference yourself? Our farm fresh eggs are NOW FOR SALE! All our eggs are unwashed so you can decide how to store and use

To Refrigerate or Not?

This is the great debate, but the answer depends entirely on whether they’ve been washed.

Unwashed Eggs: These have a natural coating called the "bloom" (or cuticle). This miracle layer seals the pores of the egg, keeping oxygen in and bacteria out. You can keep unwashed eggs on the counter for about 2 weeks.

Washed Eggs: Once you wash an egg, the bloom is gone. These must be refrigerated immediately to prevent spoilage.

A Quick Storage Tip:
Always store your eggs pointy-side down. This keeps the air cell at the blunt end, which helps prevent the yolk from touching the shell and keeps the egg fresh for longer.

Storage Method,Duration:
Room Temp (Unwashed),2 weeks
Refrigerator (Unwashed),3 months
Refrigerator (Washed),4–5 weeks

The Golden Standard: Why Farm Fresh Eggs Rule the Roost
Why Are They Better For You?

It’s not just a "vibe"—there is actual science behind why farm-raised eggs (especially those from pastured hens) take the win:

Nutritional Punch: Studies often show that eggs from hens allowed to roam and eat bugs/grass contain more Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Omega-3 fatty acids than conventional store eggs.

Lower Cholesterol/Saturated Fat: They frequently clock in with less of the "bad" stuff compared to industrial eggs.

The "Orange" Factor: That deep, vibrant orange yolk isn't just for show. It’s a sign of a diet rich in carotenoids, which translates to a richer flavor and more antioxidants.

Thicker Shells: Healthy hens produce stronger shells, which act as a better natural barrier against bacteria.

WHY DUCK EGGS?

In the world of baking and breakfast, duck eggs are often considered the "secret weapon." We love our chicken eggs, but if you haven’t tried the bounty from the Quack Shack, you’re missing out! Duck eggs are often called "baker’s gold," and here’s why:

✨ Richer Yolks: Duck egg yolks are larger and higher in fat than chicken yolks. This means creamier fried eggs, fluffier scrambled eggs, and unbelievably moist and rich baked goods!

🍰 Baker's Secret Weapon: Their high albumen (white) protein makes cakes and breads rise higher and lightens the texture. They are the trick to perfect pastries.

💪 Nutrition Boost: Gram for gram, they pack more Vitamin B12, Vitamin A, and Omega-3s than standard chicken eggs.
