Egg Handling and Storage

We provide farm fresh unwashed eggs. Eggs are collected daily on our farm.

As a general rule, unwashed eggs will last around two weeks unrefrigerated and about three months or more in your refrigerator.

How to wash your eggs?

If you choose to wash your farm fresh eggs, follow these guidelines:

  • Be gentle and quick, using water only. Water should be warmer than the egg.

  • Brush any foreign material off the shell with your finger or a soft brush.

  • Remove any signs of manure from the shell, since feces can harbor bacteria which can get into the egg.

  • Dry and cool eggs as quickly as possible and then refrigerate between 32- and 40-degrees Fahrenheit.
