The importance of eating GREEN

7/25/2019

 
Green! Chickens with access to grass engage in natural foraging behaviour and lay eggs which are with:

⅓ less cholesterol;

¼ less saturated fat;

2 or 3 times more vitamin A;

2 times more omega-3 fatty acids (healthier ratio);

3 times more vitamin E, and

7 times more beta carotene

than eggs produced by chickens in confinement with no access to grass.
It is a joy to observe Hilltops' free ranging chickens and their healthy habits of spending time in sun, synthesizing vitamin D in their skin and eating a healthy balanced diet.

Harnessing the power of the Sun

Greeks and Romans used the power of the Sun to light torches for religious ceremonies as far back as 3rd century B.C.

July 2019, Hilltops Free Range egg farm is now harnessing the power of the Sun for pumping water and ensuring our chickens always have a fresh supply.

Hilltops Free Range egg farm is embarking on a Sustainable Green Energy program, using solar and hydro to power the farm. Sustainable farming includes Sun, Land, Animals and People.

The product of a hard day's work

The result of a hard day's work, both for chickens and people: super fresh, nutritious and healthy premium food, coming straight from our farm to your kitchen.

It takes about 24-26 hours of labor inside the chicken just to form the shell and the white of the egg. The chicken is born with the beginning of all the yolks for the eggs she will lay in her life already inside her.

It takes about 4-5 hours of human labor to collect the eggs when chickens are in true pasture-raised, free range farms like Hilltops Free Range. It then takes about 2-3 more hours to process, grade and pack the eggs.

The amazing product of Land, Animals and People working together.

Exploring, poetry, chickens and farming eggs

"Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” -- T.S. Eliot

Found this chicken wandering far away from her flock, and she had come back to the same area of the paddock where many moons ago we started the Hilltops free range egg production with the first flock of beautiful brown chickens.

Behind her, one could see the three trees which feature in the photo which still stays on the front of our egg label.

Poetry coming to live at Hilltops Free Range egg farm:
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

-- T.S. Eliot, "Little Gidding"
