What it is
These are large brown eggs from chickens that have been raised on pasture. This means the chickens have access to outdoor space to roam and forage. The eggs are graded AA, which is the highest quality grade for eggs.
How people cook with it
Eggs are incredibly versatile and can be used in countless dishes, both sweet and savory.

- Fried for sandwiches
- Hard-boiled for snacks
Eggs can be cooked in many ways. They can be whisked and cooked in a pan for scrambling or omelets. For frying, they are typically cooked in a skillet with a little fat until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference. They are also essential for baking, acting as a binder and leavening agent in batters and doughs. Hard-boiling involves simmering eggs in water until the yolk and white are firm. They can also be poached or used in custards and sauces.
How it differs from similar foods
Pasture-raised eggs may have yolks that are a deeper color due to the chickens' varied diet of greens and insects. Grade AA indicates the egg has a firm white and a well-rounded yolk.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining eggs fresh, store them in their original carton in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept at a consistent cold temperature. Avoid washing the eggs before storing, as this can remove their natural protective coating.
