Our chickens are free-range in a small pasture of their own with a coop to lay eggs in & keep them safe at night.
Outside of produce season when our store is closed, eggs are still available by calling ahead or stopping by the red brick house during our posted hours.
Effective Monday 1/20/25 our farm fresh, free-range chicken eggs will be $5.00 per dozen.
☎️ Call ahead to reserve since they are in such high demand! 301-582-4884
🤝 We still aim to provide you with affordable products straight from the farm. Egg prices in the stores have continued to rise 📈 and we’re usually the last to adjust our own pricing.
Why are eggs prices rising so much? ⬇️
🥚 Avian Influenza (AI) has hit the poultry industry hard. It's a highly contagious virus in the bird species that is spread by wild birds. The only way to stop the spread is to euthanize infected flocks & completely sanitize their housing. It takes months for flocks to be repopulated and to start laying eggs. Hence the egg shortage (and fundamental economics: when demand exceeds supply, prices rise).
🥚 We have extra precautions in place to protect our own flock *knock on wood* and the girls have been working hard to provide you with their farm fresh eggs, but the demand has far exceeded our current supply.
Thank you for your continued support of our farm!
Our chickens don’t stop producing eggs just because our store front isn’t open… farm-fresh Chicken Eggs are available here year-round!
We have 50 chickens that are free-range in their pasture. We have a coop for them for shelter, to lay their eggs, and to protect them from predators at night.
We feed them layer mash and scrap produce, plus all the bugs they get in their pasture.
We have four different breeds of chickens, 3 that lay brown eggs, 1 that lays white eggs - all the same nutritional value.
Unwashed eggs have a naturally-produced, thin, protective film called “bloom” over the shell. Unwashed eggs can keep, unrefrigerated, for several weeks.
We wash our eggs for you before you pick them up, and put them in the refrigerator, pointy side down to help keep them fresh. Refrigerated, farm-fresh eggs are best enjoyed up to 6 weeks!
During our off-season, you can pick-up eggs at the red brick house. Call ahead or stop by!
