LET EACH OF YOU LOOK NOT ONLY TO YOUR OWN INTERESTS, BUT ALSO TO THE INTERESTS OF OTHERS.

 

the tiny farm is committed to fighting hunger, ensuring that food gets directly to those vulnerable people who need it the most. All the eggs laid at the tiny farm are donated monthly to the Regional Food Bank of Eastern New York | Food Bank of the Hudson Valley located at St. Joseph’s Church, Stuyvesant NY.

The egg is a powerhouse of disease-fighting nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin. One egg only has 75 calories, but also contains 7 grams of high-quality protein, 5 grams of fat, and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, along with iron, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids.

These carotenoids may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults. In addition, brain development and memory may also be enhanced by the choline content of eggs.

 
 

What Is Pasture Raised?

 

While free-range requires hens to have access to the outdoors, Pasture Raised farms are required to give easy access to the open outdoors, not just a “peep-hole”.

Although cage-free and free-range can indicate the flock has been raised without being restrained by a cage, Pasture Raised also guarantees a minimum space of 108 square feet per hen.

 

Why Are Eggs Different Colors?

 

An eggs’ color is determined by the breed of the hen, not by living conditions or quality of the feed. At the tiny farm we raise the following breeds of chickens:

  • Easter Egger

  • ISA Brown

  • Leghorn

  • Plymouth Rock

  • Rhode Island Red

  • Silver Laced Wyandotte

  • Ameraucana

  • Australorp

  • Black Sex Link

  • Blue Plymouth Rock

  • Brahma

  • Buff Orpington
