Pasture Raised Eggs & Beef

SUMMER EGG CSA - What is it?

CSA, Community Supported Agriculture, is a platform that was created, implemented and copied by small, local farmers around the country in an effort to give communities nutrient dense, local, delicious food from their local farmers For those farmer it brings stability, knowing that the products they worked so hard to produce have a consistent market to go to.

Simply put, we have eggs that are still available after farmers markets end and you, our loyal customers, still have a desire to enjoy them throughout the off-season. Committing to our CSA or egg subscription enables us to know there is the same market for our egg in the winter as in the summer, allowing us to not have to find another outlet for them. It gives consistency & continuity to us both.

EGGS FROM cHICKENS raised ON pASTURE

Croft hens thrive on pasture, roaming from sunup to sundown every day. Our hens have a diet of bugs and greens that we supplement with a non-GMO corn-free and soy-free grain mix for protein and energy.

We are dedicated to raising the best eggs with regenerative, humane and healthy practices. Croft hens are moved to new green pastures every couple days.

Pasture Raised vs. Caged, Cage-Free and Free-Range

Caged: over 90% of hens in the U.S. are kept in a confined space of 67 sq. inches. They never see daylight and are fed a corn or soy diet.

Cage-Free: these hens are given just under 1 sq. foot of space in an enclosed barn or shed. Often these hens can become aggressive towards each other because of the stressful living environment. They eat a corn or soy diet.

Free-Range: this term means some outdoor space is available but doesn’t necessarily mean these hens do go outside. Some of these hens don’t even see sunlight. Their indoor space is larger than the Cage hens or Cage-Free hens, about 2 sq. feet per hen. Many eat a soy or corn based diet.

Pasture Raised: each hen is allowed to roam free, they are given at least 180 sq. feet of open pasture per hen. They consume grass, bugs, worms and some feed. This is the most natural and expensive way to raise hens.

Croft hens are allowed to roam free on fresh pasture from sunup to sundown every day. Hens are feed a non-GM corn-free and soy-free diet.

Croft hens are moved to new green pasture every couple days.
