Good Morning everyone!
Hennifer Lopez and I wanted to post our updated pricing and process.

Because we are a suburban/home farm we are allowed to sell eggs on our property. We only do small batches so I might have a dozen or so a day. We have a blue cooler. Depending on the weather, we put ice in it.

FB bans the 3GG word (you can Google that one lol) so I refer to them as Cluck, Quack, and Honk.

I will post as I have available and note that when they are gone as SOLD each day.

Prices:

Cluck - $3/ Doz
Quack - $5 half dozen
Honk - (seasonal) $3 each

I accept Venmo and Cash.

We use new and recycled egg cartons.

Eggs are different colors.

We keep the bloom on whenever possible unless indicated on the package.

Cracking the Code on Eggs: Chicken vs. Duck vs. Goose
Not all eggs are created equal! While chicken eggs are the reigning champs in most kitchens, duck and goose eggs offer unique benefits and flavors.

I love to use duck eggs for baking rich items such as British Cakes and boy does a fried, runny duck egg go GREAT on a freshly made burger on the BBQ. Duck eggs are great for a nice breakfast fry up and are commonly sold on the shelves in England next to chicken eggs.

Chicken Eggs are all-purpose.

Goose eggs are lovely for a posh scramble. Gertie only lays in the spring and you only get a limited number of eggs. This is why they are more prized and more of a novelty.

Flavor Profile: Goose eggs have a richer, gamier flavor than chicken eggs. This can be a delightful change, but keep it in mind when choosing a recipe.

Bonus Tip:

Goose eggs are prized for their vibrant yellow yolks, making them perfect for homemade pasta! The color adds a beautiful touch, and the extra protein from the large yolk enhances the pasta's texture. I have made some lovely fresh pasta with them.

Let's break down the good stuff:

The Great Egg Debate: Bloom or Wash?

Ever wonder about that dusty coating on your fresh eggs? That's the bloom, a natural protective layer applied by the hen as the egg is laid. While some folks wash their eggs right away, others leave the bloom intact. Let's crack open the truth behind both methods!

The Bloom's the Bomb!

Nature's Shield: The bloom acts as a barrier against bacteria entering the egg through the tiny pores in the shell.

Fresher for Longer: Leaving the bloom on helps eggs stay fresher in your fridge for up to 5 weeks!

Beauty on the Counter: Unwashed eggs with their natural bloom can add a gorgeous, rustic touch to your countertop basket.

Soapsuds or Skip the Suds?

Washing is Optional: In most cases, especially if your eggs are coming straight from your own coop or a trusted source, washing isn't necessary.

Store-bought Dilemma: Store-bought eggs in the US are typically treated with a cleaning agent that removes the bloom. These eggs should be refrigerated and washed before use.

Our eggs: If the birds get our eggs a bit messy we rinse them with water and dry with a paper towel. No chemicals!

When in Doubt, Wash It Out: If you're unsure about the source or plan to store your eggs for a while, a quick rinse with cool water just before using is fine.

The Verdict: You Choose!

Both methods have their merits. Leaving the bloom on keeps eggs fresh and adds a natural touch, while washing offers peace of mind for store-bought eggs. Ultimately, the decision is yours!

What about Duck & Goose Eggs?

The same principles apply to duck and goose eggs! They tend to have a thicker bloom than chicken eggs, so you can leave them unwashed for even longer. Just remember, these larger eggs have a shorter shelf life overall.

So next time you're looking at a carton of eggs, remember the power of the bloom!
