Free Run eggs come from hens that roam the entire barn floor. Some of these barns may be equipped with multi-tiered aviaries.
Free Range eggs come from hens that roam the barn floor and when weather permits, go outside to pasture.
Organic eggs come from Free Range hens that are fed Certified Organic feed.
The hens that lay Omega-3 + Lutein eggs are fed marigold extract (which is orange in colour) as a natural source of lutein. What the hen is fed passes naturally to the egg, so the marigold in the hen’s feed adds lutein and gives the yolk the darker yellow colour that you love.
On the other hand, Conestoga Farms’ other eggs are not enhanced with lutein. No lutein enhancement means no marigold extract in the hen’s feed. No marigold extract in the feed means a paler yolk compared to our Omega-3 + Lutein eggs.
But hey – lutein or no lutein – eggs are healthy and a great source of protein.
No. Conestoga Farms is not one big farm, it is a brand that supports many local family farms in southwestern Ontario to bring their eggs to tables in Ontario.
