Pastured Eggs
The eggs that we currently carry are from Pastured Chickens. "Cage Free" and "Free Roaming" are misnomers at best.*
Amish Farmer John from Millport Dairy, Lancaster County, PA, assures us that their chickens are raised as they have/had been before the onset of chemical intervention. The happy hens go about in a natural setting and eat as they please, such as greenery, bugs and rocks — with one exception.† Otherwise there are no chemicals at all. That means no hormones, no antibiotics, etc. These are happy well cared for chickens and you can taste it in the eggs.
Under the USDA National Organic Program, all certified organic chicken and egg producers must also provide “access to the outdoors” for their birds. To meet this requirement, however, many “certified organic” and “free-range” birds are crowded into sheds with open siding or with a few enclosed porches, which may be closed off for several months during the year. The birds may never actually set foot outside, and the organic and free-range standards do not outline any other animal welfare criteria, such as the amount of space individual birds must have.
†The only supplemental feed that the chickens get is corn. Before the corn is sowed the field does get a weed killer. The weeds die, and then the corn is planted in spring. The corn itself gets no spray at all.
