Happy Nisan!

Hodesh Tov! Welcome to the month of Nisan, when spring begins! Soon the tree buds will swell and spring ephemeral flowers will start popping up, followed quickly by new grass and leaves and that bright green of springtime. 

 At our house, early spring means spring cleaning and Passover preparations. It's time to air things out and shake off the dust we've gathered through the winter. One of the traditional symbols and foods for Passover is the egg. Eggs, like seeds, are full of life and potential, which is probably part of why eggs are a central part of so many different springtime celebrations (also because chickens lay so many eggs in the spring!). If you need fresh eggs for your springtime celebrations this year, please sign up for our newsletter.

 Some notes about our eggs: 

In addition to coming in a variety of colors, our eggs have some natural variation in size. These variations are due to the age and breed of the specific chicken that laid each egg; some of our eggs are slightly smaller than standard grocery store eggs, and some may be a little larger.

Grocery store eggs are machine tested and any eggs with minor imperfections are discarded. Unlike mass produced eggs, our eggs are ungraded. Occasional blood or meat spots are rare but normal, so we recommend cracking your eggs individually into a small bowl to check before use. Eggs with blood or meat spots are still safe to eat, and the spots can usually be easily removed.
