What Makes Our Eggs Special?

Our eggs are farm fresh and unwashed, which means they still have their natural protective coating called the "bloom." This bloom seals the shell's tiny pores and keeps bacteria out — so your eggs stay fresher, longer, naturally.

Keeping Things Fresh

How to Store Your Eggs

Farm fresh eggs are different from store-bought. Here's everything you need to know.

🏠

Counter Storage

  • Safe on the counter for up to 2 weeks
  • Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight
  • Do NOT wash until you're ready to use them
  • Best flavor and baking results at room temperature
The bloom keeps unwashed eggs safe at room temp — don't remove it early!
❄️

Refrigeration

  • Can be refrigerated right away if you prefer
  • Once refrigerated, always keep them refrigerated
  • Refrigerated eggs stay fresh 3–5 weeks or longer
  • Store with pointed end down to keep the yolk centered
Condensation from temp changes can break the bloom — commit to one method!
💧

Washing

  • Only wash right before you're ready to use them
  • Use warm (not cold) running water
  • Once washed, the bloom is gone — eggs must be refrigerated
  • Never soak eggs or use soap — just warm running water

From Our Farm to You

Good to Know

A few things about farm fresh eggs that might surprise you.

🎨

Color Varies — That's Normal

Farm fresh eggs naturally vary in size, shape, and color. It's a sign of a healthy, diverse flock — not a defect.

🍳

Double Yolk Bonus

Double yolks are common with young hens just starting to lay. They're perfectly safe and a fun surprise in the pan.

🐚

Shell Color ≠ Nutrition

Brown, white, blue, green — shell color depends on the breed, not what the hen eats. All are equally nutritious.

🥘

Hard to Peel? That's Freshness

Super fresh eggs are harder to peel when hard-boiled. If you're boiling, let them age about a week first.

🌡️

Room Temp for Baking

Bring refrigerated eggs to room temperature before baking. They mix better and give you lighter, fluffier results.

🩸

Blood Spots Are OK

Occasional blood spots are natural and completely safe. They happen when a tiny vessel breaks during egg formation.
