A daily part of my work here at the farm involves eggs. This includes taking care of the chickens who lay eggs, collecting eggs, washing eggs, candling eggs, and packaging eggs. The eggs here come from free-ranging hens fed with a special non-GMO organic feed that contains flax. These Omega-3 rich eggs are sold at the local grocery as well as through the Birds of a Feather egg cooperative. The Prairie Coteau Farm hens always have access to fresh air and green grass. The chicken coop is mobile and every month or so we hitch it to a truck and move it to fresh pasture. These chickens are happy and healthy and produce delicious and nutritious eggs!
Here’s a photo journey of Prairie Coteau Farm egg production:
eggs are collected from the chicken coop
they are washed and dried
then candled
and packaged
and labeled and boxed.
Now they’re ready to be sold.
And that’s how our eggs come from the farm to you!
