5 Reasons to Love TC Farm Eggs

Did you know that TC Farm eggs come from a single farm less than an hour south of the Twin Cities?

That's right! Ian & Elizabeth raise all of our egg-laying hens on their small family farm. Thanks to our group’s commitment to paying a fair price for humane & locally raised food, Ian and Elizabeth enjoy the benefits of having a stable, year-round market for their eggs.

1. They're Local

All of our eggs come from Ian & Elizabeth's family farm in Dundas, MN, just outside Northfield.

After being laid our eggs travel north on 35W to our Blaine warehouse space before getting packed and sent out for deliveries.

Many of our members have paid a visit to Ian & Elizabeth's farm during our past farm tours!

2. Raised on Actual Pasture

Most eggs (even those labeled as "humane" or "pasture raised ") come from hens raised in crowded factory barns with little to no access to the outdoors.

Our hens enjoy being pasture throughout the year (even during the winter!) and our birds keep their full beaks in tact so they can fully take advantage of the ground they're on.

3. They're Better for the Environment

We raise our hens using regenerative grazing methods that benefit the environment by:

Building topsoil
Preventing pollution & water runoff
Protecting native plants & species
Sequestering carbon & preventing climate change

4. They're Healthier For You

Pasture raised eggs have a number of added health benefits, including:

Twice as high in omega-3 fatty acids
3 times more vitamin E
Up to 7 times more beta carotene

5. Quality Eggs You Can Trust

We never use growth drugs or therapeutic antiobiotics on our hens and our eggs are free from commonly-used synthetic colorants that make egg yolks appear darker.

Subscribing to eggs is a HUGE help to Ian and Elizabeth in planning how many hens to raise.
