Soy-Free Eggs

All chickens are pastured once old enough to have feathered out and no longer in need of a brooder environment.  They are placed in pens that are moved daily to provide clean pasture until they grow to mature size. Once they are of mature size they are allowed to free range over several acres of pasture, and fed a home mixed SOY FREE diet in addition to all the grass, greens and bugs they can forage.  Egg yolks from these Yankee Acres hens are a deep, rich orange and a taste that can’t compare. I’ve been told that some folks allergic to soy and who are unable to eat store bought eggs, are able to eat these eggs.

It’s no secret…. Eggs from pastured hens are healthier for you.  Research by Mother Earth News shows that eggs from TRULY pastured hens (not the “free range” variety that you find in grocery stores) have:

  • 1⁄3 less cholesterol
  • 1⁄4 less saturated fat
  •  2⁄3 more vitamin A
  •  2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
  •  3 times more vitamin E
  •  7 times more beta carotene
  •  4 to 6 times more Vitamin D

than store bought eggs.  Pretty cool, eh?

Yankee Acres chickens are allowed to forage for food and bugs all day long, every day and also fed a soy free home prepared mix made from a variety of grains, seeds, and minerals such as: wheat, flaxseed, fish meal, alfalfa, brewer’s yeast, kelp, organic minerals, and Celtic sea salt. 

IN CONTRAST, MOST SUPERMARKET EGGS ARE BATTERY RAISED HENS.

EVEN “FREE RANGE” IS MISLEADING.  “Allowed access to the outside” is how the USDA defines “free-range.” This inadequate definition means that producers can, and do, label their eggs as “free-range” even if all they do is leave little doors open on their giant sheds, regardless of whether the birds ever learn to go outside, and regardless of whether there is good pasture or just bare dirt or concrete outside those doors
