Eggciting Announcement!

Kindred Ground Farm is excited to announce we will be selling fresh chicken eggs this summer! We are thrilled to be expanding our healthy, organic food options. The eggs will not be included in the weekly shares, but will be available for purchase by the dozen and half dozen.


Our chickens will be free-range, cage-free, organically fed animals who will provide delicious, wholesome, healthy eggs! It is estimated that organic eggs have significantly better nutritional value than factory raised chicken eggs. Mother Earth News (in a 2007 report) “found that eggs from hens raised on pasture, as compared to those commercially raised factory farm eggs, contain:
• 1⁄3 less cholesterol 
• 1⁄4 less saturated fat
• 2⁄3 more vitamin A
• 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
• 3 times more vitamin E
• 7 times more beta carotene”



Additionally, research is starting to indicate these eggs contain increased amounts of Vitamin D as compared to factory farm eggs. That is great news for all of us Western New Yorkers!


Individual reports from those who eat farm fresh eggs report a more robust flavor and more texture in farm fresh organic eggs. We are looking forward to hearing what you think.


Eggs will be available when weekly shares are picked up and most days at the Kindred Ground Farm Vegetable Stand. (Pricing to be competitive and announced soon.)
