Why did the hen lay such Splendid Eggs?
Because she was free to roam and forage.
Splendid Eggs are pastured free range.
How are pastured free-range eggs different to standard free-range eggs?
Our pastured free-range hens are raised in paddocks.
This means there are NO cages or sheds. Unlike intensive free-range farming systems, our hens live outdoors in big open pastures, roost in mobile nesting trailers and are completely free to peck for seeds, insects, plants and roam as they please 24 hours a day.
The pride and care for The Splendid Egg hens comes through in the exceptional quality of their eggs. They feature rich yellow yolks and clear whites that always whip up with ease. This is why I always choose to bake with The Splendid Egg.”
Why are pastured eggs better for you, your business and your customers?
Our happy hens have freedom to roam and a more varied diet than supposed ‘free-range’ hens. Splendid hens produce incredibly creamy, nutrient dense eggs that taste delicious and cook beautifully.
A pastured free-range egg is packed full of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, D, E, K2, B-12, folate, riboflavin, zinc, calcium, beta carotene, choline, and tons of omega 3 fatty acids.
