Raised by Chuck Trowbridge at Prairie Farmstead in Sherman, Texas, these hens live outdoors on pasture in mobile coops that are moved regularly across open fields. They receive non-GMO feed made without corn or soy.

The eggs are left unwashed, so the shell's natural protective bloom remains intact when you receive them.

Yolk color can naturally vary with season, forage, weather, and the individual hen. A darker yolk alone does not tell you how an egg was raised, which is why we look first at the farm, the feed, and the person responsible for the flock.

BEHIND THE EGGS

Before the carton,
there was a farmer.

At Prairie Farmstead in Sherman, Texas, Chuck Trowbridge is responsible for the decisions that come before every carton: where the hens live, how they move across pasture, what goes into their feed, and how the eggs are handled after they are laid.

Eggs are easy to think of as an everyday staple. But before there is a dozen on the table, there is a person doing the work behind them.

THE WORK BEHIND IT

Good eggs begin with
the life of the hen.

Prairie Farmstead raises its hens outdoors on pasture in mobile coops that are moved regularly across open fields. The hens have room to walk, scratch, and forage as the ground beneath them changes.

The hens receive non-GMO feed made without corn or soy. Prairie Farmstead also leaves the eggs unwashed, so the shell's natural protective bloom remains intact when the eggs leave the farm.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE CARTON

Prairie Farmstead

Chuck Trowbridge · Sherman, Texas

The carton has a name behind it.

Chuck Trowbridge raises the hens at Prairie Farmstead, manages their movement across pasture, chooses what goes into their feed, and handles the work that turns a laying flock into food for other families.

That is why knowing the farmer matters to us at ROCK. When these eggs come through ROCK, we know the farm they came from, the person making the decisions, how the hens are raised, and what they are fed.

01 What We've Learned to Look For

We Have Been Taught
to Judge an Egg
by Its Color.

Crack an egg with a deep orange yolk and it is easy to assume you are looking at a better egg. Color is immediate. You can see it before you know anything about the farm or the hen.

But yolk color is influenced by what a hen eats. Pasture, forage, and ingredients in supplemental feed can all affect it. A dark yolk can be beautiful. It just cannot tell you the whole story.

02 Natural Variation

A Real Egg Is Allowed
to Change With the Farm.

Yolk color can deepen or lighten from egg to egg and through the seasons. Forage, weather, changes in pasture, and the individual hen can all show up in the carton.

Prairie Farmstead is not trying to make every egg look the same. The goal is not to manufacture uniformity. The goal is to raise the hens well.

03 What Stays on the Shell

These Eggs Are
Left Unwashed.

An egg is laid with a thin natural coating on the shell, often called the bloom or cuticle. Prairie Farmstead leaves its eggs unwashed, so that coating remains intact when the eggs leave the farm.

It is one more reminder that these eggs are not being processed for perfect sameness. They arrive closer to how they came from the hen.

04 Look Behind the Yolk

Start With the
Life of the Hen.

Prairie Farmstead hens live outdoors on pasture in mobile coops and receive non-GMO supplemental feed made without corn or soy. We know the farm. We know Chuck Trowbridge. We know the decisions behind the carton.

We would rather know how the hen was raised than judge her egg by a shade of orange.

Yolk color

Does a darker yolk actually
mean a better egg?

Yolk color can tell you something about diet, but not the whole story. Learn why ROCK looks at the hen, the feed, the pasture, and the farmer instead.

THE ANSWER 01 / 08
PASTURE + MOVEMENT

How are Prairie Farmstead hens raised?

Prairie Farmstead raises its hens outdoors on pasture in mobile coops that are moved regularly across open fields.

Moving the flock gives the hens changing ground to walk, scratch, and forage instead of keeping them on the same patch continuously.
