People are usually shocked when they learn the differences between store-bought eggs and local farm-fresh eggs… Here are 3 quick facts for ya!

1. There are numerous studies proving that farm fresh eggs are more nutritious than store-bought.

Not only do they tend to have less saturated fat and cholesterol, but they are higher in omega-3 fatty acids along with vitamins A, D, E, and beta-carotene as a result of a free range diet!

These are important nutrients that many people are currently deficient in - something that store bought eggs can't help with!

2. Most industrial egg farms keep hens in tiny cages and are not let outside.

The craziest thing? Even commercial egg companies that use “Cage Free”, “Free-Range” or “Vegetarian” labeling still keep their hens enclosed.

It’s usually a marketing strategy to convince consumers that their eggs are similar to free range.

3. If you’ve never seen the difference in the yolk color, google it!

Store-bought eggs have a very light colored yolk, resulting in little flavor, nutrients, etc.

However, if you crack open a local egg, you’ll find a dark yellow - almost orange - yolk that is packed with flavor!

Most people are pleasantly surprised to find out how delicious an egg can be when raised the way nature intended.

Local, pasture-raised eggs are collected daily at Hippee In Heels . We do our best to educate everyone on the benefits of local and hope you will give these a try!
