OK, I’ll get to the free eggs in a minute (it’s awesome, I promise).

But first, did you know our Ground Beef Donation program turns 3 years old this week?

In case you’re just joining us, it’s a simple program where you add the “Ground Beef Donation” item to your regular order (we offer it at a discounted price) and then we deliver the ground beef to the food bank.

Truly, this program continues to be a thriving success.

Last time Martin walked into the food bank toting an overflowing box, he was met with a round of applause and someone shouting, “Yay, the good ground beef is here!”

Martin told me they were so happy to see him he felt like a WWII vet at a D-Day celebration.

Time and again, people at the food bank tell us how much their customers look forward to this fantastic product, which you generously help provide.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Since its inauguration in celebration of Eat Local Month (September) three years ago, together we’ve delivered nearly 1,000 lbs of ground beef to the food bank.

Now we’ve rolled the calendar over to Eat Local Month again, but I’m not going to tell you about the benefits of eating local food.

Obviously, you already have that figured out.

You support local food all year – not just in September.

Instead, we’re celebrating Eat Local Month with a NEW donation program.

For the month of September, for each order over $75 we’ll donate one dozen eggs to the food bank.

That’s right – you don’t have to do anything extra.

Simply place your order like usual, for $75 or more, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Don’t worry – the Ground Beef Donation program is going to run right along side and into the future.

In fact, ground beef donations even count toward the $75 order threshold for free eggs.

Together we can support people who are experiencing food insecurity with nutrient-dense, clean, wholesome food.

Food that’s good for the land, the animals and the people it nourishes.

In gratitude,

Charlotte Frederickson

🎥 Meet the chickens behind your favorite eggs. [video]

I’m taking you behind the scenes today with a video🎥 to help answer the question: “Why are your eggs so good?” That’s a question we get all the time, and I’m not sure how to answer it. Not because I don’t know the answer, but because I don’t know where to begin. Because the actual boots-on-the-ground logistics of what we do is super complex. And every piece of the puzzle contributes to the health of the hens, and thereby the flavor and nutrition of the eggs.  🐓 moving hundreds of chickens outdoors on fresh pasture 🦅 while keeping them from getting eaten by everything else 🌾mixing our own feed so it’s always super fresh 🐤working with a nutritionist so each hen gets exactly what she needs at each stage of her life 🥚keeping eggs in stock year-round ⛈️ proper housing in the winter to protect the soil and the hens 📜 the list goes on It’s no surprise when someone asks me a question like that, I immediately start composing in my head a 5-paragraph essay 📝 - complete with introductory sentences, supporting evidence, and a compelling conclusion. All the time knowing it’s going to come out how Charlie Brown heard his teacher – “wah wah wah”. 😄 Luckily, I mentioned my problem to Farmer Martin and he boiled it down to TWO WORDS. Fresh. Feed. Ha! Why couldn’t I think of that? 🤷‍♀️ At this moment of the year, Fresh Feed means the most gorgeous grass on God’s green earth. 🎥 So, if a picture’s worth a thousand words, I decided to spare you the 5-paragraph essay and bring you a 48 second video instead. Farmhand Grace was happy to hop on the tractor with her farmer-daddy to make the trek out to the pasture and help show you around. I’m not making promises about the video quality. 🎬 I didn’t plan out what I should say (I would have managed to turn it into an unendurable 5-paragraph essay). And fair warning if you get motion sickness, there’s a moment at the beginning where I spun the camera a little fast because I had a premonition of approaching danger… I’m not going to spoil it by telling you what it was - suffice it to say my instincts were correct. And while I apologize for the poor filming and any queasy stomachs, it’s pretty much real farm life in action. 👩‍🌾🥰 You’ll meet the hens, some of the guardians who keep them safe, and catch a glimpse of your farmers, too.Click on the image at the top of this post to watch the video. And don’t forget to grab some eggs for this week. With its bounty, Spring’s a great time to add extra eggs to your weekly protein routine. I’ve got several family-favorite recipes linked on the egg page to bring you inspiration for breakfast or dinner, like Cheesy Egg Bites, Dutch Babies and Potato Salad. Click here to get the best eggs.
