The Benefits of Free-Range Eggs for You and the Hens
Free-range farming is about more than just space—it’s a lifestyle that benefits both animals and consumers. At Mikalyzed Organic Farms, our hens thrive in an environment that allows them to explore freely, scratch the ground, and forage for natural food. This freedom is essential for their physical and mental health, leading to happier hens and better eggs.
In conventional farming, hens are often confined to cramped cages with little room to move or spread their wings. This stress impacts their health and, consequently, the quality of their eggs. Free-range hens, by contrast, enjoy ample space to roam, reducing stress and promoting natural behaviors. They can dust bathe, forage, and even form social bonds—all activities that improve their well-being.
The difference in their lifestyle translates directly to the eggs they produce. Free-range eggs are richer in flavor and have deeper, more vibrant yolks. Nutritionally, they offer more omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and vitamin A compared to eggs from caged hens. These nutrients play a critical role in heart health, brain function, and overall wellness, making free-range eggs a healthier choice for your family.
Chickens are natural problem solvers and can remember up to 100 different faces, including humans. They even have unique personalities, just like us!
Free-range farming also benefits the environment. Our hens’ natural grazing helps improve soil health by aerating the ground and spreading organic matter, which reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. This sustainable approach promotes biodiversity by creating a thriving ecosystem for plants and wildlife on and around the farm.
By choosing free-range eggs, you’re supporting ethical farming practices that prioritize animal welfare and environmental sustainability. At Mikalyzed Organic Farms, we believe that the well-being of our hens is just as important as the quality of their eggs. When you crack open one of our free-range eggs, you’re tasting the difference that care and freedom make.
The next time you’re shopping for eggs, remember that your choice matters. Free-range eggs are better for the hens, the planet, and your health—and they taste better too!
