Simply an Egg?
Young mom, I have been where you are–looking at a farmer’s organic eggs and trying to justify the price. Maybe you’ll just stick with the grocery store. After all, they are just eggs.
Empty nester, I have been where you are. You have a little more wiggle room your budget these days. But is the price of local pastured chicken actually worth it? After all, it’s just chicken.
Seniors, I am now in your shoes. A fixed income means trying to decide where to cut your spending. Can you really afford that einkorn sourdough bread? After all, it’s just a loaf of bread.
Through the years, David and I have dedicated ourselves to learning about the relationship between nutrition and the body. We consider basic foods such as eggs, dairy, meat, grains, and produce to be the fundamental building blocks of health. On which item shall we compromise?
Take for example, those eggs. You cook two for breakfast; add a couple to your tuna salad; and follow the cake recipe by adding three more. Now they aren’t “just eggs.” They are either contributing vital nutrients or depleting the body of its ability to function properly.
Which are our eggs, and which came from a store? Hint: look at those yolks.
By refusing to compromise on food basics, far more than your food budget is affected. Your family seems healthier–fewer trips to the doctor. You have more energy–a walk in the evening is preferable to sitting in front of the television. The food you prepare is satisfying and just tastes better–family and friends compliment your cooking.
And standing there, it dawns on you. Because basic food choices are so important, maybe cheaper eggs aren’t such a bargain after all. Perhaps bargains should be left to the toilet paper aisle.
We sell non-gmo, free-range chicken eggs. The temptation to compromise on feed has been real–especially this winter when road conditions to the mill were awful. After all, it’s only feed, right? I ask myself though, if basic ingredients are the building blocks for nutrition, am I willing to sacrifice the health of my hens and ultimately, the health my body?
Healthy hens mean healthy eggs
