We're now your Neighborhood Farm!

For 2008 we are expanding our offerings to help promote healthy, nourishing and sustainable eating right here on Bainbridge Island!

All items will be available starting this spring at our onsite (honor system) at 10320 NE Roberts Road.  Items will be:

• Eggs - from our flock of pastured chickens.  Available from the cooler on the front porch

• Pork - by the whole or half hog.  This will be custom butchered for you Sold Out for 2008

• Grass fed lamb - The lamb will be harvested in the fall and since we only do a few they sell out in the spring.  Due to current regulations we sell our lamb only in 1/2 or full lamb orders. Sold Out for 2008

I'm also proud to be a member of Sound Food.  A group of citizens in Kitsap county who are trying to promote local foods and stronger ties with our local farmers.  To learn more about it please visit www.soundfood.org

EGGS

Pastured eggs are far superior to commercial eggs.  Below is a study conducted by Mother Earth magazine comparing the two side by side.

FAQs

Why are your egg yolks so deeply orange colored?  Because they are full of good stuff!  The deep color comes from the high Beta Carotene and trace mineral content.

How come my dozen eggs arent all the same size?  This is not a commercial flock, but more like one your grandmother might have had.  Each dozen eggs are all laid on one day and they come in sizes from Jumbo (which often has a double yolk) to Small.  They average out to be comparable to a dozen Large sized commercial eggs.

Whats with all the different colored eggs?  We thought it would be fun to offer a "rainbow pack" of eggs.  The green/blue eggs come from Ameracuanas, the dark brown/terra cotta eggs from Cuckoo Marans and the light brown eggs from Red Sex Link.

Enjoy!
