One of the perks of my daughter's little farm, are the daily fresh eggs.
She shares them with family and friends alike.
If you've never tasted a farm fresh egg, you are missing out, those store bought eggs are just not all they are cracked-up to be.
*giggle*
Farm-fresh eggs have one-third less cholesterol, a quarter less saturated fats and twice as many omega three fatty acids, than store-bought eggs.
They also have more vitamin A and E and seven times more beta carotene.
And more important, the chickens are raised humanely.
Egg-gathering always seems to draw a crowd.

What fun! I've been interested in living on a farm, but I must admit the city life has made me long for a peaceful place to put up my feet. My husband grew up raising his own hogs and chickens with eggs to "crack." That would be a dream for him.
All our chickens are gone now, but I do miss their eggs. They actually turned a cheesecake yellow. Many of them were pets.
That picture of the donkeys is adorable! I am proud owner of pet chickens, some are marans, some are regional old breed. Since I have them, I cannot eat any egg from the shelve anymore. Only family and friends have the benefit as I would never kill any of my hens, even if they don't lay anymore. I read recently that a supermarket egg here is in average 46 days old before it gets sold...
You don't have to convince me on farm fresh eggs, for they are the standard here. I sell my extras to friends where I used to work. They love the fresh eggs. We enjoy our hens. The little donkeys are such cuties. Like the egg basket, too.
the only way I can get farm fresh eggs is from the Farmers' Market. I do make an effort to get humanely raised chicken eggs at the store, though. :-)
Happy chickens makes yummy eggs. :) Yes, the fresh eggs are noticeably better! Yum!
Cute photos....how lucky you are to have your daughter nearby to share!
Glad your daughter still has the donkeys. They are beauties.
Nothing like farm fresh eggs. Donkeys. :)))
We have a lot of sources where we can by farm eggs. I didn't know that they were so much better but I can see that they are. I think our farm eggs too are from chickens that are free ranging.
