Pastured Soy Free Eggs
Our hens are fed soy-free, non-GMO feed from Sunrise Farms. They live in mobile coops that rotate year-round across our pastures behind our cattle, with access to large pasture sections protected by electric netting. Our sons ages 9 and 11 each have a flock to care for and really appreciate your support for their hard work. Why pasture-raised? Unlike "cage-free" or "free-range" operations that confine thousands of birds indoors with bare minimum access to grass, our hens spend their days foraging for grass, plants, and insects while dust-bathing in the sunshine. We rotate them regularly with other animals to prevent disease, disrupt pest cycles, and rest the land. This rotation strengthens the soil, plants, and animals together. Why not Organic certified? USDA Organic certification is costly and only regulates feed, medication, and minimal outdoor access, not full time pasture living or rotation. We focus on regenerative practices and quality that go beyond organic standards. Why soy-free? Many people have soy allergies, and like onion flavor when a hen gets into spring onions, soy compounds and pesticide residue can transfer into eggs. Commodity soy (heavily processed byproducts, not whole edamame) can trigger allergies and raise concerns about hormones and digestive health.

Hard red is another great option for yeasted breads, with a stronger/nutter flavor than hard white. Try experimenting with a mix of hard red and hard white for your breads.

About
We are a first generation family farmstead that follows Joel Salatin's methods of regenerative farming to raise healthy animals which in turn heal the land and heal our bodies with nutrient dense food. We homeschool our kids and our sons are the primary caretakers of our laying hens. We raise Dexter cattle for grass fed and finished beef and milk/breed mini-lamancha goats.
Our Regenerative Farming Methods:
Hens produce the healthiest, highest quality eggs when they are able to keep themselves clean and healthy with a varied diet that includes a quality feed plus grass, various broadleaf plants, even leaves from those thorny wild roses. Ever had an egg after a chicken got into some spring onions? The flavor goes straight into the egg. That's why the feed and forage matter so much. Commercially, "cage free" just means they aren't kept in tiny cages and "free range" means a giant chicken house might have access to a small run (like a prison yard) where the hens can get a glimpse of daylight and a blade of grass before being pushed along by a line of hens vying for the prime real estate. Pasture-raised chickens live cage-free and free-range of course, but they can also care for themselves well by dust-bathing in the sunshine, scratching up roots and pecking around for worms all day, and doing all of the things chickens do to live their best healthy chicken life 24/7.
Cows (we say cows even though they're not all ladies) are similar. They need nutrients and plant material to balance out their rumen so that the bacteria in the rumen can process the grass and forbs and even tree leaves into amino acids (basically raw protein) that the animal uses to build out the various muscle groups that we call steak and roast and ribs. The nutrition value and ability to convert grass into beef (the best kind of plant-based meat) is heavily dependent on the life and nutrients in the soil and the plants growing in it which benefit from the high volumes of manure cows produce. That amount of manure would be a health concern for the animals if they were in a feed lot, but that manure is broken down quickly into food for the soil by the millions of bugs and microbes that inhabit thriving pasture.
Dexters are a breed of cattle that are very efficient grazers. Although it takes longer than grain fed operations, we only feed our cows forage, including grass, hay and grass based alfalfa pellets and the longer wait is worth it for the best tasting grass finished beef.
