The color of the egg yolk is a direct function of the hens diet. Specifically, the amount of carotenoids in the hens diet. While we do plant lots of carotenoid rich cover crops for our hens (inlcuding Turnip greens, clover, and other green stuff that, counter intuitively are actually rich in carotenoids) we also feed our hens a custom ration that contains Alfalfa, Paprika and Marigold. Alfalfa, Paprika and Marigold contain high levels of the class of carotenoids called Xanthophylls which are responsible for reddish/orange color in the yolks. Yolk color aside, we are really proud of our eggs and the overall quality and freshness that we deliver to our customers each week! We attribute this to the fact that our birds have access to so much pasture and are on a really well balanced nutritional program.
