Free Range Prairie Eggs
In October of 2014 we ordered 125 laying hens to add to our farm. They will begin laying in spring of 2015. The hens will be run outdoors on our pastures in a mobile hoop house. This will allow them to truly forage, but also to be protected from the many predators we experience here on the plains. Our eggs from our farm have always been very dark orange as opposed to the pale yellow of the store bought factory eggs. We also have a tremendous number of grasshoppers in our area, so this is a free food source for the hens. We supplement the hens with a non-gmo ration that we have mixed to our standards at a local feed mill.
