Our Pasture-Raised, Ungraded Eggs come from hens raised on our pasture-based poultry farm, where they have access to outdoor pasture areas where they can forage, scratch, and roam freely, just like they would in their natural habitat. Our pasture-raised hens have the opportunity to exhibit natural behaviors and consume a varied diet that includes grasses, insects, and other vegetation found in the pasture, in addition to the high-quality organic or GMO-free feed they are provided. This natural diet ensures that our birds are healthy and happy, resulting in delicious, nutrient-dense eggs. No hormones are used with any laying hens and no antibiotics are ever added to our organic feed.
This farming method emphasizes animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and the production of high-quality eggs with enhanced nutritional content vs. conventional factory farming methods where hens are confined to indoor cages or limited outdoor spaces.
The color of the eggs may vary, with most dozen packs featuring a diverse assortment of colors that reflect the range of hues produced by our laying flock, including tan, chocolate brown, green, white, and/or blue.
Enjoy the taste of truly fresh and natural eggs, hand-picked and cared in different sizes and colors, made with natural sunlight and fresh air.

Ungraded Eggs vs. Graded Eggs
We believe in the natural beauty of the nest. We currently offer ungraded eggs, which means they come to you exactly as our hens laid them—authentic, fresh, and full of character.
What are Ungraded Eggs?
Unlike supermarket eggs that are sorted by machines into uniform categories, our eggs are hand-gathered and sold in their natural variety. When you buy ungraded eggs directly from our farm, you’re getting:
-
Natural Variation: A beautiful mix of sizes, shell colors, and weights.
-
Farm-to-Table Freshness: These eggs skip the long industrial grading and distribution lines, arriving in your kitchen much faster than "Grade A" retail eggs.
-
Small-Batch Quality: We focus on the health of our birds and the richness of the yolk rather than industrial uniformity.
The Grading Standard
"Grading" (such as Grade AA or A) is a commercial classification system used by large retailers to ensure every egg in a carton looks identical in terms of shell shape and weight. While we take great pride in the integrity of our eggs, we operate as a small-scale producer.
Per North Carolina regulations, if our farm sells more than 30 dozen chicken eggs per week, we will transition to the official sorting and classification process required for high-volume producers. Until then, we are delighted to provide you with the diverse, high-quality bounty of our local flock!
