Grass Fed Hens

During suitable weather, the hens spend considerable time outside the shelter, searching for their own grub versus the ready-made-feed provided indoors. But even in the rain, the hens may spend some time checking out the possible menus for lunch. By mid-morning most of the hens have returned to the sheltered nesting and roosting area to lay the eggs. The eggs are laid in roll-a-way nests and gathered by hand. These eggs are carried to cool storage areas until collected by a truck to take them to a grading and packing plant.

Swiss Villa Eggs from grass-fed hens are available in medium, large, extra-large, and jumbo sizes packaged in recyclable plastic. Our PET plastic egg carton is environmentally friendly. Not only is it recyclable but it contains recycled PET plastic, the same plastic used to manufacture plastic bottles and many other plastic food containers.

PET plastic egg cartons have over 50% recycled content and can be recycled into new egg cartons for up to seven cycles. For more information, click here for a pdf report.

If you don’t see our eggs in your store, ask for them by name.

Pastured Chickens

More than “outside access”, our hens are at home outside. The early morning sun ceckons their attention. But they were out before sun-up!

Hens naturally like to stroll from their night shelter and find insects and bugs in the early morning hours.

Fresh morning air invigorates. Dew drops refresh.

And happy chicken sounds float over the countryside!
