Eggs in Every Shade
At Cedar Crest Farm, eggs come in colors as rich and varied as the flock itself—shades of blue, olive, chocolate brown, speckled cream, and soft pink. These aren’t dyed or altered. They’re simply what happens when you raise a diverse flock with care and intention.
In an article from the News-Herald, Cedar Crest Farm was featured for its naturally colorful eggs and the heritage hens that lay them. The story highlights what we’ve always known to be true: when birds are healthy, well-fed, and valued for their individual traits, nature responds with beauty.
Each breed brings something special to the table—literally. Ameraucanas offer pale blue eggs, Marans lay deep chocolate browns, Olive Eggers contribute greenish tones, and Welsummers add terracotta speckles. We’ve intentionally chosen to raise a wide variety of breeds not just for their beauty, but for the health of the flock and the richness it brings to the farm as a whole.
Customers often ask why our eggs look so different from store-bought cartons. The answer is simple: these eggs come from birds raised on fresh air, whole grain, and a purpose-driven feed—free from shortcuts, chemicals, or confinement. You can taste the difference, and you can see it too.
We're grateful to the News-Herald for recognizing our work and sharing our story. Whether you’re a longtime customer or just learning about what makes farm-fresh eggs so special, we invite you to read the full feature:
