Kansas City Free Range Egg CSA

Free Range Eggs

Did you know that our free range eggs are healthier than the eggs you find in the supermarket?  Studies show that free range eggs have 1/4 less saturated fat, 2/3 more vitamin A, 2 times more omega 3 fatty acids, 3 times the vitamin E and up to 6 times the vitamin D as compared to supermarket eggs!

Our laying hens double as one of our not so secret bug control methods, devouring bugs and worms, tons of leaves (and the unfortunately the occasional tomato).  The diet and exercise they undergo make our free range eggs noticeably different than the eggs laid by hens confined to a cage barely bigger than themselves.  In fact, our free range eggs are noticeably superior to even the cage free eggs found at the supermarket.  Look at the difference in yoke color and egg white thickness of the top two free range eggs from Where the Redfearn Grows Natural Farms compared to the Eggland Best Cage Free eggs ($3.99/doz at HyVee) on the bottom.

Free Range Eggs

And oh the taste!  We’ve gotten used to eating free range eggs.  Several weeks after taking these pics, I accidentally took some of those store bought eggs (the ones for the demonstration) from the fridge and fried them up.  “I immediately thought, man I wonder why those yokes are so bland colored.  I hope or hens are doing ok.”  When I put them on my plate and tasted them, they were, well, tasteless.  I couldn’t finish them.  Then I realized they weren’t our eggs at all.

Well, now we are offering a free range egg CSA through Where the Redfearn Grows Natural Farms.  The summer egg runs from the second week of July to the end of August.  One share consists of one dozen eggs per week for 8 weeks.  At $32 for the whole season, you can’t beat it. Pick up at the farm in Independence or in Lee’s Summit.  Sign up for the summer egg CSA today while supplies last!

We’ll be offering a fall egg CSA to continue after the close of the summer egg CSA.

Sign up now to get your free range eggs for the whole summer.  Yes, you can sign up for more than one share!
