Eggs

April 11, 2017 by Sheila

Meg's Eggs

These are Meg’s eggs. When we had our little farm stand in our barn, we had 100 Araucana chickens. Too many chickens. Now I run down to Kimberton Health Foods and get these. No chicken poop, no roosters attacking, and no headless chickens (don’t ask).

 

Araucana Eggs

Where’s my soapbox. I only buy pastured eggs now. Chickens need to run around outside eating bugs and grass. That’s what gives the brilliant orange yolk. And the taste! The only drawback is it’s preferable to have older eggs for beating fluffier egg-whites and for hard-boiled eggs that are possible to peel without losing half the white part.

Okay. That’s all. Thanks for listening.

So glad that you stopped by! Please join me in my garden and kitchen on our tiny, little farm in gorgeous Bucks County, PA. As the seasons progress, we’ll gather and prepare an abundance of vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers, visit markets, and do a little foraging and preserving. -Sheila
