I ordered chicken eggs several times from Shady Grove. They are very good eggs indeed. Very digestible and fresh. From their leaflet, fed no synthetic drugs or pesticides. Just natural treatments like oregano oil and homemade apple cider. Beats what are sold as organic egg at the supermarket. My french toast cooks up deep yellow, because the yolks are so yellow. These are my favorite eggs

Thank you so much for this review Marilyn, and for your most recent order. We do love it when customers come back time and time again! As you know, John and I put the welfare and diet of our animals right at the top.. I think they eat better than us sometimes, with the custom-ground Non-GMO and Soy-Free diet.. the 5 acres of fenced "back yard" with the acre of spring-fed pond means that our flocks of 75 laying chickens and 71 laying ducks have a 217,000 square feet area on which to free-range.. or 1,452 square feet per bird. Compare to the 64 square inches that is the Federal requirement and adopted by most egg-producing "factories" and you can see why our eggs taste so amazing! Find Shady Grove Farm and the English Baker on Facebook for some great videos and photos of life on the farm, and some of the stories on the natural healing methods that I use on any sick or injured birds for inspiration. Everyone says that the flavour is incredible.. that deep orange yolk.. and those things are all about the diet, AND keeping birds going YEARS longer than other producers who cull at 18 months. Our oldest layers are 3 years old.. they don't produce huge numbers of eggs by that time, but the eggs are larger, and the flavour is richer than a "young" egg. These are probably the "cleanest" eggs that you will ever taste!
