Hello,

Did you ever wonder what the difference is between our farm fresh eggs and supermarket eggs?

When you think of healthy eggs what do you think about? I think of chickens out in fresh air, eating fresh grass and scratching for insects. 

But is that how all chickens are raised? Let's take a look.

Did you know that a large amount of laying hens in USA never get to go outside and eat fresh grass and insects. In fact statics show that 90% of chickens live in CAFO (Concentrated animal feeding operation). Most CAFO chickens barns house around 30,000 - 80,000 laying hens at any given time.

Here is some key differences in our Free Range Chickens VS CAFO Chickens.

Ours: Get access to the outside year round, with plenty of room to eat and lay their eggs.


Thiers: Raised in barns with little room to move beside eating and laying their eggs.

Ours: Have plenty of fresh air and sunlight. Manure is evenly spread over the pasture and doesn't create toxic ammonia vapors. 


Thiers: Crammed inside with little or no natural light, there manure builds up and creates toxic ammonia vapors.

Ours: No antibiotics or medications.


Thiers: Given constant antibiotics and medications which is mixed right in with the water and feed lines.

Ours: Fed non-GMO feed, that contains no medications or antibiotics.


Thiers: Fed feed containing medications and antibiotics.
 
Ours: Has a healthy immune system, from all the sunlight and fresh air.


Thiers: Constantly getting sick and dying from all the toxic vapors and crowded living spaces. 

Here is just a few of the differences. Below is a picture that is worth a thousand words. I'll let you decide which eggs you would rather eat.
