💒 Don't forget the eggs for lunch after church 🥚

Several people have already reached out to me asking why the Hen Den has been mostly closed for the last month, so I thought I'd fill everyone in.

At the beginning of May, a crafty fox carried off almost half of my laying hens, my rooster, and all of my spring chicks. Unfortunately, this happened while we were on vacation, so you can only imagine how upset I was when we returned. In turn, this upset the remainder of my hens, so they stopped laying for several weeks.

This is just part of living in the Bankhead Forest. We changed up our routine, so the fox has stopped visiting for now. The hens have settled back in and started laying again, and I have 20 new fluffy chicks that will fill the gap by next spring 🐥🐥. So, supply may be slim for a bit, but right now, there are 4 dozen eggs in the Hen Den ready to go home with you 😊🥚🥚🥚.

I try very hard to keep my prices low despite the rising cost of feed and supplies. This is a great read.

Well… pull up a chair and let’s talk. 🤍

When you buy farm eggs, you’re not just buying what’s in the shell.

You’re buying:

🌾 Non-commercial feed
🌿 Scratch grains, greens, and bugs they hunt themselves
🏡 Hens with room to roam instead of rows of cages
🪺 Hand-gathered eggs — every single morning
❄️ Careful storage and small-batch handling
💛 Time, labor, and stewardship

DID YOU KNOW:

• Grocery store eggs can be weeks old before they hit the shelf.
• Store eggs are washed in a way that removes their natural protective bloom — which is why they must be refrigerated.
• Pasture-raised hens often lay eggs with darker, richer yolks because of a more varied diet.
• Smaller flocks mean better care — but they also mean we can’t compete with industrial pricing.

Around here, we believe if the Lord entrusted us with the animals, we ought to treat them right.

Farm eggs cost more because they are more — more care, more quality, more intention.

And truth be told?
Once you taste the difference, it’s hard to go back.

We aren’t trying to be the cheapest.
We’re trying to be faithful stewards.

“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord…” — Colossians 3:23 🤍

Now tell me — are you team chicken, duck, or goose? 🥚👇
