To all our Loyal Customers -
Thank you for continuing to purchase our organic pastured eggs throughout the price increases! We know that you food dollars are stretched these days.
We held off for as long as we could before raising our prices, but the price of all grains are totally out of control, and organic grains are in even more of a crisis.
All food costs are rising drastically. You can expect a 4-8% rise in most of your food items this year alone, some items may be even higher.
GLOBAL FOOD CRISIS
While this is not good news for our customers; please take the time to inform yourself about the extent of this food crisis. Poor people in most countries pay many time more of their income as a percentage than we do in the U.S. This ranges from 10% to over 20% for those who even earn an income, to totally unaffordable for those in the most impoverished countries.
WE PARTNER WITH THE SUN & MOTHER NATURE
We promise to continue making our organic pastured eggs, the best that you can buy from our organic hens living in the open air and sunshine. Our organic pastured eggs are nutrient dense, the reasons for this is that we partner with the Sun and Mother Nature.
OUR EGGS ARE IN EFFECT -DIRECTLY CONDENSED SUNSHINE
Let me explain. We spray our pastures with compost tea four times a year, this allows the grass roots to go down much deeper and bring up priceless micro-nutrients, minerals that provide essential nutrition for your family, the grasses are the source of the highly prized Omega-3 fatty acids, this is a gift of the Sun – grasses are stored sunshine.
THE PERFECT GIFTS OF MOTHER NATURE
Adding to the nutritional value of our organic pastured eggs is the diet that our hens get from being out in our organic pastures. In addition to the grasses, our hens eat a rich diet of insects, worms, micro-orthopods and grubs. These foods are a gift of Mother Nature.
No tricks here, our chickens get to be all that a chicken is meant to be and the quality of our eggs is the proof of this.
Once again, THANKS TO EACH OF YOU. Your comments, via Email are welcome and solicited.
Sincerely,
Jeremiah

Do you grow grain for your poultry? I know they get a big portion of their diet from the pasture, but what else do you feed them? I am looking into a "backyard flock" and of course I want to go organic, but I have some tillable land and would like to know if I can grow some of their feed. Thanks! Someday I would like to be doing exactly what your are doing!
chelsea, I'd highly recommend you search out old books for information on how to raise chickens 'off your land' There are online versions of the original books (usually scans) that were written before big ag showed up on the scene. Here's one to get you started:
