FARM EGGS TASTE BETTER AND ARE BETTER FOR YOU.
Eggs from hens that are allowed to roam are given the opportunity to eat a varied diet of seeds, bugs, and fresh grass. The chickens also get sunshine and exercise which have been proven to produce eggs that are higher in Calcium, Lutein, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Vitamin D. Not only do farm eggs have less saturated fat and cholesterol but they are higher in omega-3 fatty acids which are essential for your day-to-day functioning. Farm fresh eggs are higher in omega-3 fatty acids because chickens are able to forage for foods that are natural for a chicken to eat and are not found in the diets of caged hens that produce store-bought eggs. 
 
When compared to store-bought eggs, local farm eggs are richer in color, yolk density, freshness, and shell thickness. Not only are you getting healthier eggs when you buy farm eggs, but there’s also the transparency in knowing where your food comes from.
 
FARM EGGS ARE FRESHER
How long did those store-bought eggs take to get to the shelf? Well, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly. It can take weeks to transport eggs from the facility to the store. Why would you want to eat old eggs?! Buying eggs from the farmer means you are getting fresher eggs. The USDA says eggs keep, when refrigerated, for 4 weeks–s but homesteaders know you can keep eggs for a couple of months. Farm eggs straight from the farmer are always going to be fresher than store-bought eggs!
 
FARM EGGS ARE BETTER FOR CHICKENS
One of the biggest benefits of buying farm-fresh eggs is that you’ll know exactly how the chickens were raised. Unfortunately, most industrial egg farms keep chickens in tiny cages for their entire lives. Hens are never given the opportunity to go outside and they barely have enough room to turn around! When you buy eggs directly from a farm, you’re supporting farmers who allow chickens to do what chickens do best–eat bugs, scratch in the dirt, and nibble on grass. Chickens are omnivores, they enjoy worms and bugs but they’ll also scramble to get the last morsel of tomato.
