Had a craving for an egg salad sandwich when I woke up this morning so all these eggs had a bath and jumped in the pot!

Egg salad is a craving food for me, I don't really love it but every once in a while I just have to have one. Hard boiled eggs on the other hand I really do enjoy as a midday snack, and of course I have to make some pickled eggs for Farmer G.

I have found with farm fresh eggs it's best to use eggs nearing 3-4 weeks age so we alway have eggs on the back of the counter waiting to become a delicious treat.

These eggs boil up perfectly and peel to perfection every time.

The way I make them is by loading my pot full of eggs, adding water and putting on high on the stove top. Once they come to a rolling boiling I start my timer for 11 minutes. When the timer goes off I turn off the stove but leave them on the element for another 11 minutes. Once that time has passed I take them off the stove and drain the water. Giving them a cold water bath and then we're done and ready to enjoy.

These beautiful eggs are making their way to Oromocto this morning 😍

Farm Fresh Eggs are the best, in my opinion, and I love being able to supply other families with these beautiful nutritious eggs!

Again, my opinion, everyone should have access to healthy homegrown meats, produce and milks (even though selling or even giving away that last one is illegal in Canada 🙄 I don't think it should be but that's a rant for another time). We are very blessed to have been able to work hard towards our goal of self sufficiency and although we still aren't where we want to be we are very grateful to be where we are. And we are so grateful to be in a place where we can offer the many benefits of Farm Fresh Foods to our friends and family. It's the little things like that that fill my heart with absolute joy!

Free range chickens are my favorite little tricksters!

You may wonder how things like a couple dozen eggs get missed around here. Well, easily... egg production picks up in the Spring and we don't always know it until we find they're all just out here hiding their eggs 😅

Found a nest in the hole of a rock hill last week from one coop(3rd photo) and then this nest today beside the bunny barn from Farmer G's coop 🤣😂

When we still get a couple dozen a day it's very easy to miss a couple eggs that we don't even know are being laid. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dear friends and followers, you're the absolute best! 💖

We are so incredibly thankful to everyone who shares our product availability with their friends and family. Word of mouth is the best way for us to get in front of folks who otherwise wouldn't know what we offer.

These 3 packages of eggs are heading out the door with us tomorrow, to Nackawic and to Fredericton, I can only assume because of you!
*We still have more available if you or anyone you know is looking for Farm Fresh Eggs!

We are so blessed to have you all following along on our journey and supporting us the way you do by sharing our availablity information, commenting on and sharing our post 🥰

Thank you again!

He's already nibbling on hay 😍

Our youngest had decided we should name him Bambi! The look I got when I said "just remember we will be eating him in a year" 😅

Not everyone on the farm is a fan of lamb so we do not have a large flock but we are working towards growing that over the next couple of years, after we're settled on the farm. Farmer G absolutely loves lamb, he says he thinks that he likes it more than beef 😳 which is definitely something I never thought I would hear from him; but to each their own.

It is definitely a nice change from the usual meats that I grew up with, although I wouldn't say it's my favorite meat they sure are cute when they're little bouncing babes 🥰

Tiny little fairy egg 🧚‍♂️ to add to my collection 😍

Every once in awhile we get these teeny little eggs, inside is generally just the membrane, no yolk whatsoever. This happens when a shell forms around a small piece of tissue instead of a yolk that's been released in the oviduct.

We don't get these adorable eggs often as they generally happen from new hens beginning to lay or when hens are finishing their cycle. Another cause could be stress. In our case this is usually from a young hen who's beginning her cycle 🥰
