Eggs so good they taste like sunshine in a shell.

I don’t know what sunshine tastes like, but I enjoy eating these eggs for quality nutrition. Along with an organic and no soy breakfast of champions, the gals get a weekly treat of extra protein like salmon and beef scraps from a local butcher and fish monger. The hens roam freely most days—sometimes past the pastures and into the risky woods. Luckily, they have a guard dog, a watchful rooster, and ornery turkey gobbler who all have a knack for seeing hawks.

Locals get WARHORSE Farm eggs at White Oak Custom Cut in Mill Spring. Maybe call first. They sell out fast.

Good Food for Good Eggs

WARHORSE Farm Eggs

Our hens are raised on New Country Organics No-Soy Feed and roam chemical-free pastures They forage on home-grown clover, chickory, and peas. Plus, enjoy supplemental protein from ground venison and wild-caught Lake Adger fish and salmon scraps. This diverse, natural diet produces deeply nutritious eggs with vibrant orange yolks — rich in omega-3s, choline, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Strong and kind, from our small farm to your table.

New Country Country Organics No Soy feed because it’s a clean option—no glyphosate or chemicals used in growing the grains, and no soy. If you want to know more about organic, no soy, and farm health tips, here’s a link to their company.

UNWASHED EGGS and THEIR BLOOM:

Listen up, warriors — real farm-fresh unwashed eggs stay on the counter because they still have the bloom: that natural protective coating the hen puts on right before the egg drops. It seals the shell pores, blocks bacteria, and keeps moisture locked in.

With the bloom intact, unwashed eggs are safe on the counter for 2–3 weeks (up to a month in a cool, dry spot). Once washed, they lose the bloom and must go in the fridge.

Float Test for age check:
Drop the egg in room-temp water.

  • Sinks flat → very fresh, prime warrior fuel.

  • Sinks upright → older but still good.

  • Floats → getting old. Crack and smell.

Float test washes off the bloom, so refrigerate and use that egg soon after. Always finish with a crack-and-smell check — clear thick white, firm yolk, no stink = good to go.

FYI Grocery and Farm Stores must follow county and state safe food laws, and must refrigerate their eggs, whether washed or unwashed.
