HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year 2010 to all our loyal customers!

We continue to improve our soil and our grasses by ammending our pastures with organic compost tea, and then by feeding the natural biology (which we call our micro-herd) with two annual sprayings of HYDROLYSISED FISH, for nitrogen - HUMIC ACID, to feed the fungi, and MOLASSES, to feed the bacterii.

This is a very expensive regimen, and we think it is worth the expense because or our dedication to nutrient dense food, and to producing the very best eggs possible. That is why you buy our eggs, and we are conscious of your desire for an ethical egg.

Some producers of "pastured organic eggs" adhere to the letter of the law, but totally ignore the true spirit of organic standards in the name of profit from the "organic" brand. This saddens me, but that is life in the year 2010. Bankers, Wall Street, you know the names of the profiteers. Be careful of labels on eggs, they are very opaque and do not tell the true story of what is inside the carton that you purchase for your family. The USDA Organic Seal can and is, misused and abused.

Ask, where were these eggs produced, has the soil been independently tested, have there been tissue samples of the grassed sampled and tested?

Can you see an analysis of the nutrients of the "pastured organic eggs" offered for sale? You can see ours at Mother Earth website - www.motherearthnews.com

Our supply of eggs lasts in Whole Foods Market for about four days, they are stocked on Friday and are sold out by Sunday or Monday, this is because we produce all our own eggs on our little 90 acre organic farm in Elgin, Texas, we do not broker eggs from other farms over which we have no control.

Thank you once again for choosing to purchase the eggs that we lovingly and carefully produce for your familys health and well being.

Happy New Year 2010 to all - From Jeremiah and the workers at Coyote Creek Farm.

The Incredible, Edible Eggheads at Coyote Creek Farm
0

Elgin’s Coyote Creek Farms can be found in bakeries, like Lauren Hubele’s Bona Dea Bread in Austin, but not in the way you might suspect. Dedicated to sustainable, organic farming, and ranching practices, coupled with the humane treatment of all farm animals, Coyote Creek Farm provides eggs, meats and more to locally owned and operated Central Texas businesses and farms.

But if you don’t live in the Elgin area, don’t fret, you can purchase the farm’s eggs exclusively at your local Whole Foods Market.

As they explain on their site, Coyote Creek’s claim of offering the “World’s Best Eggs” is not bragging, it is more of a classification. “Currently our eggs are very nutrient dense, higher in Omega-3 fatty acids and lower in cholesterol than eggs produced in confined conditions. One of the reasons that our eggs are more nutrient dense is that our organic pastures are treated with compost tea four times a year. Compost Tea, in simplest terms, is extracting the biology from organic compost into a water solution, multiplied with molasses, humic acid, volcanic rock, greensand and so forth. The result is a micro-herd of protozoa and nematodes that feed on the bacteria and fungi produced together in the compost tea,” says Coyote Creek farmer, Jeremiah Cunningham.

I guess the only thing missing is diatomaceous earth – sorry – just had to type one of my most favorite phrases to say. Anyway, the next time you’re shopping for eggs, so Texas. Being a farm girl myself, I can assure you that farm eggs in particular are amazing in both their flavor and color. Vibrant orange yolks and creamy texture and taste, farm eggs have no equal. And Coyote Creek’s eggs are no exception.

BackYard Chicken Flocks

Want to beat the high cost of organic eggs?

I have just the answer for you. Get your own chickens in your backyard!

There is a backyard flock movement that is strong and growing stronger all across America. In addition to the 3,000 hens that produce, Jeremiah Cunningham's Worlds Best Eggs, I also have my own pet flock in my door yard.

Not only are they beautiful and fun to watch forage and talk and play, but, they give you healthy food.

Coyote Creek Organic Feed Mill is setting up buying clubs for our organic poultry feeds. Members decide which feed store they want to use as a pick up point - we ship it there and they get fresh organic feed for their back yard flocks.

There is now a very strong support system for new chicken caretakers. One that gives you all the accessories that you will need, as well as advice on the health and care of your new hens.

Be sure and check you local ordinances. Most cities allow the keeping of chickens in fenced yards. Some however, ban roosters. I love to see roosters, at least one with my pet hens. If there is a predator, he will step up and take the hit and your hens will be spared.

If you have room for more birds, and want to produce eggs for sale, contact us for our bulk feed prices. Eggs are a great way to earn extra income.

Good luck with your new flock!

Jeremiah

Egg Prices - Grain Prices - Recession

To all our loyal customers, I want to say, "THANK YOU!" for making our eggs the most popular eggs at all of the Whole Foods Market locations.

This past year has been tumultuous, to say the least. Corn fluctuated over $4.00 per bushel during the year, grain prices shot sky high - and so egg prices had to go up.

Then almost as suddenly the recession hit us, and grain prices came back down closer to a normal level. This happened just as we raising our prices. We held off as long as we could - and now - WE ARE ABLE TO MOVE THE PRICE DOWN AGAIN.... This is due to the fact that corn and other grains seem to be staying in a lower price range.

I know this has strained your food budgets, and the up and down of the market has made us all wary and a bit confused about where we are headed next.

To reward your loyalty, World's Best Eggs & Whole Foods Market are featuring a ROLL BACK SALE OF $4.99 PER DOZEN. This sale will last for two weeks, from April 22 through May 6th.

Then we will settle in on a price that both reflects your food dollar and our production costs.

You can go to www.motherearthnews.com and see that we had our eggs tested, and that in every nutritional category they are significantly higher than regular eggs. In most cases it takes from 1.5 to 2 regular super market eggs to equal the nutritional values in one of our eggs. The statistics can be seen at the website above.

We would really like to hear from you if you feel like sharing your experiences in buying eggs for your family.

Thanks Again,

Jeremiah Cunningham for all the folks at World's Best Eggs and Coyote Creek Farm.
