Why They Don’t Tell the Whole Story
Ever wonder how grocery store eggs can be just a few dollars a carton? Cheap eggs are the product of
marketing tactics and shortcuts—not nourishment. Here’s the quick breakdown:
1) Eggs are used as a loss leader
Supermarkets price staples like eggs at razor-thin margins (sometimes at a loss) to get you in the door.
That $2.99 carton isn’t priced to nourish your family—it’s priced to make sure you buy other items once you’re inside.
2) Subsidized feed keeps costs artificially low
Conventional eggs often come from confined hens eating corn- and soy-based feed supported by government subsidies.
Those tax dollars keep feed cheap, so the true cost is hidden from the shelf price.
3) Volume over vitality
When the system optimizes for maximum output, quality suffers: paler yolks, lower nutrient density, and stressed hens.
Cheap eggs can save a few dollars at checkout—but they often cost more for health, animals, and the land.
There is a better way. Meet your farmer
to see how real pasture-raised eggs are produced with care.

Meet Your Farmer: Chuck Trowbridge of prairie Farmstead
At ROCK Farmhouse, we believe you should know where your food comes from — and who’s behind it. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Chuck Trowbridge of Prairie Farmstead in North Texas.
Chuck didn’t start out as a farmer.
He spent over a decade working in engineering before deciding to follow a deeper calling: raising his family on the land, feeding people with integrity, and building something lasting.
Today, alongside his wife and three kids, Chuck runs Prairie Farmstead as both a home and a mission.
His children collect eggs, care for baby chicks, and tag along to check on pigs and cattle. It’s truly a family effort — the kind of farm you can feel good about supporting.

Why Prairie Farmstead’s Eggs Are Different
Farming That Puts Health First
Pasture-Raised Hens: Novagen hens that thrive outdoors, grazing on grass, bugs, and seeds.
Heritage Pork Breeds: Berkshire, Red Wattle, and Tamworth pigs raised outdoors, soy- and corn-free.
Regenerative Practices: Healing the soil, stewarding the land, and raising healthy animals without pesticides or herbicides.
“Healthy animals produce healthy food,” Chuck says. “When animals are raised on pasture, with fresh air and sunlight, they simply don’t need the interventions that confinement farming relies on.”
Pasture-Raised Eggs
Hens on fresh pasture—sunshine, grass, and bugs—produce vibrant, nutrient-rich yolks.
Food raised to nourish, not as a loss leader.
Fresh & Local
Eggs gathered on Chuck's family farms at Prairie Farmstead and delivered through ROCK—transparent,
close to home, and downright delicious.
Regenerative Farming
Stewarding soil and animal health—no pesticides or herbicides—because healthy land
→ healthy animals → healthy food.

The Takeaway
Grocery store eggs are cheap because they’re meant to be — not because they’re better.
But real food raised the right way costs more because it’s worth more.
When you choose Prairie Farmstead eggs, you’re choosing eggs with vibrant yolks, richer nutrients,
and a story that connects your family to the land and the people who care for it.
At ROCK Farmhouse, we’re proud to deliver those eggs — and that story — straight to your door.
TL;DR
