- Egg Share SOLD OUT.
- Our pasture eggs are sold out for the summer season
- However, we will be offering eggs from homestead farms as extras to be purchased over the summer.
PRO-Tip:
- If you do not have a meat thermometer, GET ONE.
- This is the best and most accurate way to get your desired outcome.
- Our meat does not take long to cook. Often we will cook it 5 degrees under suggested temps.
- for beef, pork & chicken!
- At that point, just with your eyes if it's too pink, cook a little longer.
PLEASE Return Boxes & Red Freezer Bags!
We also take back mason jars & 12 hole Egg Cartons
- We like to reuse as much as we can :)
- leave them out your next delivery for the driver to get when they drop off your next order.
- If you are a pick up, you can leave the items at that location and we will grab them.
- If your red bag has a water bottle in it, leave it in! It's an icepack to help keep the items frozen during delivery. We refreeze them and use them multiple times.
If you &/or your family are currently quarantined, Please keep your items for now.

SET YOUR PREFERENCES!
