Our layer hens spend the mornings laying eggs and consuming GMO-free/soy-free organic feed mix; the afternoons roaming and foraging outside their covered wagons.
The benefits of our chicken-raising methodology:
While our chickens forage outside, they rely on grain to maintain year-round egg production. Unlike industrial farms, we provide a varied and premium grain diet:
Organic & Local:
They eat an organic, soy-free, and GMO-free blend purchased from a certified organic farm—run by a great family—located only about an hour from Mary’s Land.
Diverse Nutrition:
Our hens enjoy a rich mix including organic field peas, oats (or spelt), flax, argonite (calcium), fish meal, crab meal, alfalfa meal, and Fertrell probiotics.
Unmatched Quality Assurance:
Unlike many industrial-organic farms that may source grain from overseas, we guarantee our feed quality and local origins. Our custom grain formula costs up to 10 times more than buying a mono-culture offshore feed, directly yielding a healthier, better-tasting egg.
We maintain our commitment to organic principles even in the final step:
Sani-Touch Washer:
We use a Sani-Touch egg washer with brushes to gently clean our eggs. We avoid the immersion washer method because it requires harsh chemicals, which would have entirely defeated the purpose of raising organic eggs.
Mary’s Land Farm eggs are available fresh daily in our Farm Store.
