We’ve all been there. Someone asks you a question that you don’t know the answer to, but you feel like you should know it. As a child, did you ever wonder whether store-bought eggs hatched?

St. Patrick’s Day is a time often used to overindulge in all sorts of beverages and food. We like to call it the Thanksgiving of the Spring.

When it comes to raising chickens, we keep things pretty simple. We believe that oftentimes the simplest option is the best option. It’s one of the many reasons we don’t cage our animals, we don’t use antibiotics and when we cook with our eggs, we don’t need to add a bunch of fancy ingredients. We hear time and time again about how exceptional our eggs perform in the kitchen and how remarkable they taste. We wanted to share some videos of your favorite television chefs cooking a dish that we all cherish: the classic scrambled egg!
Eggs are a household staple and very common breakfast food for many United States citizens and people around the world. Even though eggs are a common and familiar item to many people, there are some major myths that exist about them! Let’s dive into four major egg myths and the truth behind them.
It’s no secret we love breakfast. It’s our favorite meal of the day. Scrambled, over-easy, poached, hard-boiled: we’ll take our eggs any-which way. And while a protein-packed meal of eggs each breakfast from now until forever would be just fine by us, we occasionally like to add a side or two. Bacon? Yup. Toast? Sure thing. And beverages? You bet’chya. Coffee, chocolate milk, tea, and maybe a tall glass of OJ (though finding a Montana based orange juice company was pretty tough).
For all the grill enthusiasts out there breakfast can be a meal that keeps you inside and frustrated. Why shouldn’t you be able to fire up the coals at any time of day? Well, luckily grilling the day’s most important meal isn’t as hard as you think. Because, yes, you can grill eggs!
We know a lot about chickens. In order to keep our hens healthy and happy, we have to be up to date on what keeps them that way! As a bonus, better treatment leads to better tasting eggs. In honor of our chickens, we decided to share with you all some facts that we’ve learned about chickens and eggs since proudly operating our local Montana farm.
When visiting Montana many tourists will opt to explore Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park and the road in between the two. While the drive between both parks does a great job showcasing the beautiful scenery of Montana, the Anaconda-Pintler Scenic Highway, just a jaunt off of Interstate 90, is a drive that really unearths the Treasure State. Join us for the drive.
In the United States, many people simply see chickens as a means of food, but there are many countries and cultures around the world that put a special emphasis on this creature. Here are some examples!
Our eggs are so fresh, you can taste the freedom! We understand how important it is to keep our hens happy and healthy, and how proper treatment of our poultry affects the quality of the eggs laid. We’re proud to be a Montana-based farm with plenty of space for our chickens to be free-range and keep them stress-free. So how do we achieve this? Why don’t we check in with Lola and see what her day-to-day is like.
