Still just $5


 With all the talk about high egg prices we just wanted to remind everyone we have not raised our prices.  Our price is based on the cost of chicken food not the cost of grocery store eggs.  Still selling used egg cartons filled with one dozen farm fresh nest run eggs for $5.  Pick up near Harlem and Monee-Manhattan Rd.

Interested in duck eggs?



Duck eggs are usually larger than chicken eggs, higher in protein and calories.  They are great fried or mixed with chicken eggs and scrambled.  Bakers often say duck eggs are superior due to their large yokes. The bad news is that ducks love digging in the dirt and making messes.  This means their eggs are usually also dirty.  Our Welsh Harlequin ducks don’t give us enough eggs to sell dozens at a time.  But we can sell a “Dirty Dozen” mix of duck and chicken eggs (limited availability).  Usually we would try to sell clean chicken eggs and eat the dirty ones ourselves but we know anyone buying duck eggs understands even dirty eggs will wash up nicely.  Usually duck eggs would cost more but a “Dirty Dozen” costs the same because you are buying eggs that are less visually appealing.

 Dirty Dozen Duck/Chicken Mix- $5

$5 per dozen-Nest run eggs




 We are selling farm fresh pastured eggs from our chickens.  We do our best to use clean eggs.  These eggs would usually fall in the large category if they were graded.  To be clear these eggs are being sold as unwashed, ungraded, and unsized.  $5 per dozen.

Who we are…


 A home school family who moved out of the cul de sac.  We wanted our boys to learn “hands on” lessons about gardening and raising chickens.  One year later, we have a flock of 21 egg laying hens (Gold-laced Wyandottes and Silver-laced Wyandottes).  This year we added 4 Easter Egger pullets who have just started to lay.  We also have a rooster and a cockerel for good measure.  All of our chickens have names and are loved by our boys.
