How do you ship your eggs?Updated 3 months ago

We ship our eggs unwashed - as Mother Nature intended. (What is done in most countries outside of the US). In other words, our eggs arrive to you in the state they were laid.

Before a hen lays an egg, the hen's body creates a thin, invisible, protective layer called the “bloom” over the shell. The bloom seals the thousands of pores on the shell, protecting the egg from bacteria getting inside. When eggs are washed, the bloom is removed, leaving the egg pores open to potential new bacteria. 

Eggs in stores are washed and can be washed using harsh chemicals such as chlorine, enzymes or other detergents, and then coated with mineral oils to reseal the pores. (And can be several months old! Our eggs have been laid within the past 7 days.)

Since we leave the natural bloom intact on our eggs, we do not have to worry about temperature control or sanitization issues when shipping as much. So we pack up your eggs safely with foam inside cartons so we can ensure that the eggs arrive in a safe and healthy condition, directly at your doorstep.
