Truly
Farm Fresh Eggs
Chickens that live
on Dreamfarm are raised the way our ancestors would have cared for them.
Our hens are raised on pasture and are free to scratch for bugs, graze
on grass, preen and lie down in the warmth of the sun with plenty of room
to spread their wings.
Because chickens cannot survive on pasture alone, we provide certified
organic grain. However, pastured chickens will get up to 30 percent of
their nutritional needs from insects, grass, clover and other greens.
As a result of this kind of diet, their eggs have higher amounts of omega-3
fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin A, folic acid and carotenoids and half
the cholesterol.
When you open a carton of our eggs you will see a beautiful display of
egg shell colors. We raise a variety of chickens, each breed (and individual
chicken) has their own shell color. The color of the shell has no connection
to the quality of the contents. It goes back to what the chickens eat!
Eggs are picked,
hand-washed, boxed and labeled daily.
Dreamfarm is experimenting with raising some rare breeds of chickens which
include Buttercup, Lakenvelder and Cuckoo Maran. We hope to play a role
in the dedication to the preservation of genetic resources.
