The importance of eating GREEN

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.
