Laying Hens – Thorpe Farms
Footloose and fancy free, our laying hens (the Ladies) can be found all over our property, sunning amongst the flowers or making a “day spa” in the gravel driveway. Our hens are free to roam from sun up until sun down. They feed on a variety of insects, seeds, and tasty fruits and veggies from the garden.
Unlike commercial eggs, which can be up to 3 months old by the time you consume them, our eggs are picked daily and never stored and have been found to have some healthier benefits.
Eggs from pasture-fed free range hens have been found to:
- Contain less fat and cholesterol
- Contain more vitamin A – promoting healthy teeth, bones and soft tissue
- Contain more vitamin E – protects cells by acting as an antioxidant
- Contain Omega-3 Fatty Acids – connected to heart health, lowering cholesterol and blood pressure
Our eggs are of limited availability and sell out fast! Farm pick-ups and pre orders are suggested.
