Stone Organic Pastures

 

Laying chickens:

 

 

The entire pasture à 12+ acres in Fisher, à

 

(central) Illinois, located 20 min. north of

 

Champaign, has not been sprayed with

 

any chemical for 20 plus years; land that

 

has never been farmed.  Our egg laying

 

chickens are out in the pasture everyday

 

from morning until dark on the pasture. 

 

·        They are fed USDA Certified Organic feed.

 

·        The eggs are high in Omega-3

 

·        The animals are in a non-stress environment; They are not

 

         crowded in the barn at night.

 

·   No hormones or antibiotics

 

are used, eggs are non-

 

irradiated, non-pasturized as in

 

grocery stores

 

Life of egg lasts longer unrefrigerated, can

 

also be refrigerated.  Grocery store eggs

 

are irradiated and/or pasturized

 

(pasturized as in eggs are raised to a

 

certain temperature via hot water or hot

 

air for a certain amount of time for "your

 

protection").  Our eggs are NOT irradiated

 

or pasturized...these are eggs from the

 

farm and very high quality.  Not to worry

 

about cholesterol from these eggs:  being

 

pasture-fed, the cholesterol content in the

 

eggs is the good cholesterol.  The life of

 

these eggs lasts longer than in the store. 

 

These eggs are best stored UNrefrigerated. 

 

They can be refrigerated though.  For a

The Egg Test:

Get a bowl of water and put the eggs in the bowl.

·        If they sink, they’re good.

·        If they float, it’s questionable whether they’re good.  I would test that egg individually in a separate bowl and smell it.
