Organic and Farm Fresh Eggs Don’t Get Recalled
There is a lot of noise about the contaminated eggs on the air waves right now. Salmonella will make you sick without a doubt. However, the commercial chicken meat most folks buy at the super market is already is contaminated with salmonella according to Medical News Today. What’s up with that? It’s raw chicken, not cooked chicken, that is the problem.
On to the eggs. I think big-ag and the FDA wants to irradiate more of your food to sell you more drugs. However, there is a simple solution to this fiasco. Find a farmer who is selling farm fresh eggs from chickens that are not fed a bunch of junk food and have free range. I am not talking about a door to the outdoors, I am saying they wander around all day in the pastures. Better yet get 5 or 10 hens and raise your own chickens
Raising a small ‘herd’ of your own chickens is about the simplest farming you can do. They are wonderful little animals that not only give you healthy, delicious eggs, but also keep bugs down and provide fertilizer for your little raised bed garden. Go for it! Jump in and try it out, you’ll be happy you did. If you do decide to go about it, I would suggest you get one of these breeds:
Free-range eggs have three times more omega-3s and are 220% higher in vitamin E and 62% higher in vitamin A than eggs obtained from battery cage hens (Karsten, Pennsylvania State University, 2003). I do not heat our little chicken house in the winter, and egg production does slow down, however we generally get 3-6 eggs a day from 6 hens. It’s so great!
Do you have any comments or suggestions? I’d love to hear them! Please contribute!
