*Farm Fresh Eggs*
$5/dozen or $4/dozen if you trade in egg cartons in good condition. $7.50/18 pack or $6/18 pack with carton trade in. Pick up is at Hidden Springs Stables in Fuquay Varina. You do not need an appt for pick up, just text 919-868-6404 to request/ensure egg availability then pick up in our barn lounge refrigerator any time from 8:00am-8:00pm any day of the week. Payment via cash(drop box), venmo, paypal or cash app.

These eggs are unwashed so they last longer until you are ready to use them. Unwashed eggs stay good for a couple months in the fridge. We keep clean nesting areas so the eggs are rarely dirty. They are also unfertilized(we have a couple roosters that we keep separately in the event we want to raise more chicks one day but we do not keep them in with our hens.) Our hens are fed a consistent diet of Country Layer feed, crazy eight scratch feed and fresh veggies every day.
