Last Wednesday's Farmers' Market brought an abundance of fresh and healthy foods to campus. Twin Post Farms, from Princess Anne, MD, was there with free-range duck & chicken eggs.
We know that free-range eggs are better for animal welfare because the birds are more likely to have enough space to roam around, forage for food, and keep tensions between them down. But these eggs also carry nutrition benefits for us, which the farmers from Twin Post indicated on their sign:
"Did you know? Pasture raised eggs contain 35% less fat, 60% more Vitamin A, 200% more Omega 3's than even Omega 3 fortified eggs (per Prevention magazine). Oh... the rich colored yolks? That's beta carotene."
Now that's more of a reason to eat cage-free eggs!
