Farm Fresh Eggs and Meat
We have farm fresh chicken eggs available year round, currently $3/dozen. Our chickens free range, eating grass, bugs and whatever else they can find. They are supplemented with high quality Buckley Bros layer feed, plus sunflower seeds, raisins, leftovers and meal worms for treats.
We also have fresh duck eggs available in limited supply, currently $4/dozen. They are collected daily from free ranging Pekin ducks. A duck egg is a lot like a chicken egg that has a bigger and richer yolk, and twice the nutritional value. The shell is significantly thicker than that of a chicken egg. This can make it tricky to crack, but generally this thick shell gives a duck egg a longer shelf life than a chicken egg. They fry, poach and boil well, but because there's so much fat, a good early experiment is a simple scrambled egg. You'll find them much creamier and richer than scrambled chicken eggs. They're also higher in protein and have a higher concentration of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega 3 is thought to improve everything from brain health to healthy skin. They have more Albumen making cakes and pastries fluffier and richer. Duck eggs are an Alkaline producing food, one of the few foods that leave your body more alkaline, which is a great benefit to cancer patients as cancer cells do not thrive in an alkaline environment. Another health benefit with duck eggs is that most people who are allergic to chicken eggs are able to eat duck eggs without allergic reactions.
Available in limited supply are processed meat chickens and turkeys, $4/pound. They are raised in large pens so they also have access to grass, bugs and fresh air, and are supplemented with Buckley Bros feed. They are processed at a state inspected facility. Chickens are available throughout the summer and fall, and into winter until the supply runs out. Their processed weight is usually about 6-8 pounds. Turkeys can be ordered in the spring and summer for Thanksgiving, and a few extras will be raised and sold first come first serve. Past years' processed turkeys have weighed in at 14-23 pounds.
