The egg section at supermarkets has been looking quite empty lately. Why not get farm-fresh eggs from the farmers market instead?
Join us every Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM at the PSU Farmers Market, where various vendors proudly offer farm-fresh eggs.
Arrive early, as these prized gems tend to fly off the shelves!
Still on the fence? Here are reasons why local farm-fresh eggs rule:
🥚Fresher and higher quality: Farm-fresh eggs available at farmers markets are locally laid, resulting in a shorter time between laying and consumption compared to store-bought eggs. This freshness often leads to eggs that are of higher quality and better taste.
🥚Healthier and more nutrient-dense: Local farm-fresh eggs are fresher and richer in nutrients compared to store-bought varieties. Studies show that farm eggs often have lower cholesterol, less saturated fat, higher levels of vitamins A, E, and D, and more omega-3 fatty acids and carotene. In contrast, store-bought eggs can be 30 to 60 days old, resulting in a loss of nutritional value.
🥚More flavorful: Hens raised on small farms typically enjoy better living conditions — free-range with access to green pastures & healthier diets—resulting in eggs that are as flavorful as they are wholesome. Farm-fresh eggs have rich yolks and firmer whites, making them a baker's dream and perfect for cooking!
🥚Supporting regional farmers: By purchasing your eggs from local farmers, you enjoy exceptional quality, champion sustainable agriculture, and bolster the local economy.
Join us this Saturday and experience the difference for yourself!🥚
