All eggs are hand gathered each day, sometimes twice a day. Each egg is lightly, hand rinsed with a slow stream of water. Detergents and soaps are NOT used. All eggs are then refrigerated. Even after being rinsed and frigerated, they remain fairly shelf stable.
If you would like shelf stable eggs (not rinsed and not refrigerated), contact us. Prepayment will be required for shelf stable special orders.
Many of our Customers visit the farm in Fremont to pick up their eggs; however, we generally do Torrey Town Pick-ups each Saturday just after 3 PM. Look for Ben Jackson in the Etta Place Cider near 700 West on Highway 24 in Torrey. When we have extra eggs, Ben will set up his booth, and sell eggs for an hour or 2 after preorder pick-ups. Ben enjoys waving to everybody that passes by...even those that pass by numerous times, hehe. Even if you do NOT need eggs, feel free to stop by and visit. Every once in a one, somebody thinks Ben is a "therapist", says "Thank you, Lucy", leaves 5 cents, and goes on their way. A little "Charlie Brown" reference there. =D
We recommend preordering eggs, in fact some of our Members, are on a set schedule. We do our best to keep our Members informed on the status of their preorders. This is mostly done via Text Message.
The majority of our eggs are sold in new cartons / flats. In general, we only accept cartons with Ben's Hens labels. If they are clean, and the customer is fine with a used carton, we reuse them.
Most of our unsold eggs, are donated to the Wayne County Food Bank. If you would like to help with egg donations, please contact us. Any tips or donations are used toward the cost of producing donated eggs. We use returned, clean egg cartons with Ben's Hens labels. Many of our customers have donated $1 here and a $1 there. It all adds up. We are very grateful!!
