If you watch our videos on The Dancing Farm you know that all of our Poultry are able to roam freely on our farmstead and in our pastures. By roaming on our farm our Ducks are able to forage for the best and healthiest foods found only in Nature. Although our birds are also given organic feed, during the growing season all of our animals prefer finding the freshest and most nutritious natural foods such as grasses, seeds, blossoms, fruit and insects. All of this nutrition and exercise is then transferred to the healthiest eggs available. Happy Birds make the best Eggs. To prove this point we encourage everyone to compare an egg purchased at a supermarket with an egg from our farm and you will be shocked by how different the eggs are in appearance and most importantly in taste.
Unless you lived in another country, most people in the US believe that Eggs need to be refrigerated always in order to stay fresh which is not true. Female birds (or Hens) of all species secrete a protective film around the egg that is being laid which acts as an antimicrobial barrier. Factory and industrial Egg farms wash and disinfect their eggs removing this protective layer and therefore need to keep their Eggs refrigerated. Our Pastured Free Range Eggs are not washed and the protective layer remains allowing us to ship and store our Eggs at room temperature just as they do in most other countries around the World.
Our Eggs are packed and shipped on the same day and sent by USPS Priority Mail. Because all of our eggs are extremely fresh and unwashed our Eggs are able to stay unrefrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Because duck egg shells are more porous, it’s recommended that they be stored in a clean environment for no more than 10 day before consumption. We encourage our customers to wash and rinse our Eggs with a mild soap before using. Once our Eggs have been washed they would need to be refrigerated.
Please Note: These Eggs are not fertilized Eggs and will not hatch in an incubator.
Duck eggs are powerhouses of nutrition and pack a punch by providing high quantities of all the essential minerals, vitamins, amino acids and fats. One average sized duck egg contains close to 130 calories! that’s almost double that of a chicken egg, but of course duck eggs are 30% bigger than chicken eggs. They contain close to 9 g of protein and 9.7 g of triglycerides (fats). They are excellent sources of calcium and potassium. It’s true that eggs are high in natural cholesterol, but according to studies, this cholesterol is not absorbed by the body so it does not do any harm.
