Eggs for Sale!


Farm-fresh Eggs, for Sale in our Long Barn!
by Sharon Gaughan, PCLF Education Program Director

Our relatively new flock of Bovans Brown hens are continuing to lay well for us through the winter -- despite their dislike of the snow and cold!  And so we continue to have a nice stock of farm-fresh eggs for sale in our Long Barn.  

Come on by and pick up a dozen for breakfast (or lunch, or dinner)!

Eggs Available!


Free Range, Farm Fresh Eggs Available!
by Sharon Gaughan, PCLF Education Program Director

Just a quick post to let you know that our new flock of 100 Bovans Brown hens (plus Rhubarb and Rutabaga) have been busy producing an average of 97 eggs each day for us!  So, as you might expect, we currently have plenty of free range, farm fresh eggs available for sale in the Long Barn ($5.00/dozen)! 


How do you enjoy your farm-fresh eggs? 

Scrambled?  Sunny-side up?  Poached?  Deviled?  Perhaps in a veggie or a Denver omelet?  There are many, many egg-cellent possibilities!

The Prairie Crossing Learning Farm hens have been busy growing up since the last post, and are now producing many wonderful organic eggs! If you have not purchased these delicious eggs before, I encourage you to give them a try.

Starting on June 10th, stop by the Prairie Crossing Farmer's market on Friday afternoon from 4-7 p.m. to purchase farm-fresh eggs for $5/dozen. You can also purchase seasonal organic vegetables grown by various farmers here on the Prairie Crossing farm, and other farm treats. The Prairie Crossing Farmer's Market is held at Station Square, located on Route 137 south of Route 120, across from the Prairie Crossing Metra Station. The Farmer's Market runs on Fridays from June 10 through October 14 from 4-7 pm.

Scrambled eggs make a quick and nutritious dinner on those busy summer evenings! I hope you come by the Farmer's Market and support the Prairie Crossing Learning Farm with the purchase of these fabulous organic eggs.
