Farm Fresh Free Range Chicken Eggs
*Egg Storage Instructions Below*

 Image is a picture of one dozen farm fresh free range eggs from the hens at Dublin Star Farm West.  These eggs were collected on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and are various shades of blue-green and brown.  They are in an open egg carton for display.

Brown & Blue-Green Eggs are nicely filled out and shelled due to their daily diet of mealworms, soldier bugs, calcium powder (made from shells), and layer feed.

Our hens are well cared for at our east farm, which is covered in white clover.  Clover is a great source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that contribute to their overall health.

We shelter our hens in a raised henhouse with screened run and insulated nesting area. Our hens are turned out each morning when weather allows and put up each evening.  They free range our east farm where they enjoy foraging for worms all over the property, watching us through the sliding glass door, and running to greet us whenever they think we’re bringing them treats.  After all, what else are humans good for? 😉

Eggs are $3 per dozen

Buyer assumes all risk of egg storage and safety upon purchase. We sell our eggs washed, unless specifically requested. Each carton comes with a gather date card attached.

Please use the eggs within the following time frames:
Stored on countertop: 2 Weeks from Gather Date
Stored in fridge: 2 months from Gather Date

Always use eggs within the 2 weeks or 2 months (depending on how you store them). You can check the freshness of your eggs using the old-fashioned water bath (Float Test) method, but no guarantees are made. The gather date is the earliest date we gather the eggs. The Water Bath/Float Test works best on eggs stored in the refrigerator – again – use the eggs by the times from Gather Date.

The old-fashioned water bath or Float Test:

  • Fill a bowl with enough cold water to submerge an egg completely. Make sure you use clean, COLD water.
  • Place an egg in the cold water. Please only test one egg at a time for best results.
  • Observe.
    • If the egg lays flat at the bottom, that indicates that the egg is very fresh.
    • If the egg kind of tilts but stays at the bottom, the egg is still fresh and okay to consume.
    • If the egg stands up on the bottom or floats, it is still safe to consume but is older. *These eggs are the BEST for deviled eggs, hard boiled, or baking.
