Fresh-n-Natural - Free Range Eggs
Fresh-n-Natural offers a wide selection of free range, nutrient dense eggs to cater to the eggo-manics.
Free range eggs come from hens that have access to an outdoor range during the day but are housed securely and comfortably in sheds at night. To be classified as a free-range egg farm, the hens must have regular access to an outdoor range during daylight hours. Farmers facilitate this by opening up doors to the sheds every morning and closing them up in the evenings when the hens are back inside.
Our hens live on our free-range farm in the outdoors with fresh, clean air, all natural diet, fresh grass and ability to express the chickeness. Our hens are able to eat, exercise and socialize as they like. They have lots of room to run, forage and flap their wings. Hens need sheds to feed, lay and roost. Free range hens can use a secure outdoor range area to scratch the grass and move among the trees during the day, while still having the safety of a shed at night.

Duck Eggs
The duck egg is increasingly popular in home kitchens since it is a great alternative to chicken eggs for baking cakes and breads. Their bright, creamy, high-protein and high-fat yolks create a rich, light and moist result. Fresh-n-Natural collects eggs from ducks that enjoy the pastured life. Duck eggs are about 2 ½ inches long and 1 ¼ in diameter, which is about 30 percent larger than a chicken egg.
These ducks forage on pasture, feasting all day on bugs, frogs/tadpoles, fish, grasses and seeds. In the evening, they are fed conventional lay pellets. Pellets contains a nutrient that allows egg laying. Without this nutrient, we would have to create a custom mix of feed to duplicate it, increasing the prices of our eggs significantly.
Free Range Country Chicken Eggs
Fresh-n-Natural farms produce delicious and nutritious eggs because of their unique farming style and high standards. The hens are free to roam and spend all day foraging organic fields for grass, bugs and worms. We make sure there’s plenty of shade out on the pastures, and a ready supply of both clean, fresh water and our carefully formulated supplemental feed. The chicken are always on pasture and are never given antibiotics or hormones. Each flock has different breeds of chickens, which means that eggs may be different colors. This gives the eggs a unique look that is not typically found in the grocery store.
The Eggmobile is a portable hen house and the laying hens free range from it, eating bugs and scratching through cattle droppings to sanitize the pasture just like birds in nature that always follow herbivores as biological cleansers. Because of this variety in their diet, the eggs that are laid are rich in essential nutrients and are a heath promoter compared to the factory chicken eggs.
Quail Eggs
Eggs from quail raised with no antibiotics or hormones, in open barns, and humane, stress-free conditions. Quail eggs are a fraction the size of chicken eggs, but pack more nutrients and minerals. Eggs are hygienically processed and securely filled for keeping these free from any contamination and impurity. It has high dietary content, protein, smell and tastes rich. These are one of the natures most wholesome and cost-effective foods.
The protein rich Quail Eggs have multiple health benefits like their ability to improve vision, boost energy levels, stimulate growth and repair, improve metabolism, reduce blood pressure, soothe allergies, cleanse the body, and prevent chronic diseases.
