Our eggs come from Ginger Snap Farms they have a variety of chickens all ranging free on their pastures. You will find light brown, green, blue, dark brown, and brown eggs in your dozen eggs. Their main bird is the Delaware which is on the American Lifestocks Breeds threatened status. They believe in developing this breed not only for its great egg laying abilities but for its meat producing abilities too. Therefore they are helping keep this bird from being extinct. They are practicing Animal Welfare Approved practices and are working on obtaining a certification from them. All of their animals are antibiotic, steroid and hormone free. The chickens feed from a diet of fresh pastured grasses and are supplemented with grains mixed locally by a Mennonite farmer. The chickens are day ranging on the pasture and are moved weekly to help ensure better land management and more forages for the chickens. Chickens grown in this environment are much healthier than their industrial counterparts and therefore, much healthier for you.
