Description

Almost everyone has eaten an egg. Very few people have eaten a good one. The difference is not subtle and it does not require a trained palate to notice. Crack one of ours next to a grocery store egg and the difference is immediate — a deep orange yolk instead of a pale yellow one, sitting higher, holding its shape, with the white staying tight instead of running flat across the pan.

That color is not decoration. It is beta-carotene, and it comes from what the hen ate. Ours are rotated onto fresh pasture daily, foraging grass and insects the way chickens were meant to, supplemented with nine separate custom designed and milled rations throughout their life. Antibiotic free and vaccine free from hatch.

The nutrition for you follows the hen's diet. Penn State researchers compared pastured hens to caged hens and found twice the vitamin E, twice the long-chain omega-3, and less than half the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. A 2014 study in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry found yolk vitamin D three to four times higher in hens with real outdoor access, because a hen makes vitamin D in sunlight the same way you do. A bird that never goes outside cannot do that, no matter what she is fed.

The difference carries into cooking. Scrambled low and slow they set richer. Fried, the yolk stands and the white holds instead of spreading thin. In baking, it is structural as well as flavorful — firmer whites whip into meringues and soufflés more easily, and the richer yolks give a more tender crumb in cakes and custards. Bakers who know seek them out for exactly this reason.

When available we offer five sizes, Medium through Super Jumbo. Larger sizes cost more per dozen and less per ounce. Quantity discounts run from 2 to 15 dozen depending on size and what the flock is giving us that week, up to 25% off.

Keep them cold. South Carolina law caps the expiration date at 45 days from pack, it is marked on every carton, and if you keep them refrigerated you will get all 45.

Pickup and local delivery only. Eggs do not travel well enough to ship, so we do not ship them.

Building a whole breakfast? Our bacon, breakfast sausage, and breakfast variety pack were made for this.

Pastured raised eggs are much better than any store bought eggs. Plus they are local.

These eggs are absolutely eggcellent! Totally worth the drive to get them. I'd rather support a local farmer and get real food, than go to a big box store and overpay for a lesser "product". Thank you David and Wishbone Farms!!! See you again soon!

First time customer here! I have found a local farm that I for sure will continue to be a patron of! Customer service goes above and exceeds expectations, Thank You David!

These are the freshest and tastiest eggs in Charleston. They are very reasonably priced for the quality that you get.

Based on the appearance and taste, these eggs are so much better than grocery store eggs that of course they're worth it. I don't eat grocery store eggs or chicken any more, and if I didn't have Wishbone, I simply would not eat them at all.

I have never received a bad egg in all the years I have been purchasing eggs from Wishbone. I especially like that I can get fresh eggs locally off the farm.

Great eggs from a great farmer …

The eggs are the best. I’m hooked on jumbo & super jumbo sizes!

I've been purchasing my groceries (eggs & other items) from Farmer Dave for several years. The yolk in these eggs deep color quality is excellent. I truly look forward to having my breakfast. The eggs and sausage from his farm is so delicious. These are the only eggs I will buy.
Thank you Farmer Dave for all the hard work you and your family do bringing farm fresh food to my table.

Fresh free range farm eggs!!

good quality and consistent delivery standards

The best eggs….Always!

Excellent!

Dave's eggs have spoiled us and they are an economical source of protein.

These are the only eggs I buy. They are so fresh and delicious and worth the price. It is important to me that Farmer David’s hens are pasture raised and live happy chicken lives.

Fresh eggs are better than store bought ones.

Our daughter used to bring us your eggs from the Sea Island Farmers Market. Then when we heard that Coastal Coffee Roasters in Summerville has your eggs, we started getting them there. We get about three dozen a week and they are wonderful eggs. Tell the hens to keep up the good work.

This was the first thing that we ordered from Wishbone and really like them.

Eggs

I’ve tried many farm eggs and there are just no comparison to Wishbone Farms… yolks are rich and deep orange in color indicating they are nutrient dense.

XL Eggs

What a difference these eggs make when I'm making meringues and curds! As a home baker I pride myself on the quality of the goods that I make... I wouldn't use anything else the results just are not the same.

Best Eggs!

I have consistently been ordering (monthly) eggs from Wishbone Farms since March 2023 and I have to say that I have never been disappointed. The quality of the eggs and the size of the eggs are exactly what they should be. I either order XL or Jumbo and everyone in the family comments how delicious and fresh tasting the eggs are. Eggs are the one food that we eat every single day and I want them to be the best quality that they can be so thank you farmer David for a consistently great product. We don’t buy eggs from the grocery stores anymore. Keep up the great work!!

Best eggs around

These eggs are just superior and my family eats a lot eggs! I feel good knowing where they came from, have been ordering them for years. I'll never go back.
