Source: Early Morning Harvest
Early Morning Harvest is home to over 100 pasture-laying hens, all hormone- and antibiotic-free. The hens vary in breed, so expect colorful egg shells from light brown to dark brown and even green! They give the hens daily access to fresh green grass, bugs, legumes, and trimmings from vegetable processing (all part of a hen’s natural diet). Because of this healthy diet, our hens provide flavorful, nutritious eggs with orange-colored yolks that stand tall in the frying pan.
Research shows eggs from pasture-raised chickens are more nutrient dense. They contain twice the amount of Vitamin A, three times the amount of Omega-3, three times the amount of Vitamins E and D, and eight times the amount of Beta-Carotene than their conventional counterpart. The nutritional difference is astounding, and the taste difference is just as impressive.
