A. Our fresh eggs are much fresher than store-bought eggs. They can last up to 3 months in the fridge.

Q. What does "pasture-raised" mean?
A. For our hens (chicken and duck) pasture-raised means they have daily access to the outdoors and to clean native pasture. They benefit from sunshine, bugs and tender shoots, but how much feed they garner from forage depends on the season.
Q. What do you feed your hens?
A. To keep prices affordable for local customers, Paragon Pastures utilizes conventional, nutritionally balanced poultry feed. This mainly consists of grains, legumes, vitamins and minerals. However, our hens have access to natural forage, which tremendously contributes to their health and the quality of their eggs.

A. No, our eggs are not organic. To keep prices low for our customers we do not feed our hens an organic diet. However, we are committed to no antibiotics or hormones and we never use chemicals on the pastures where our hens forage.
Q. Can I visit the farm?
A. We can accept scheduled visitors on the farm. If you would like to visit, please use the contact form or email wyomingardener@gmail.com to set up a visit.
Q. Why are the eggs different sizes and colors?
A. Our free-range flock is composed of diverse breeds, including heritage birds. Each breed lays a different size and color egg, contributing to our colorful egg cartons.
Q. Should I bring used cartons back?
A. Yes, we appreciate customers returning our cartons to keep the price of our eggs as low as possible, please make sure they are clean and dry. However, we cannot accept cartons from other producers or brands, for branding and sanitation reasons.
