Farmstead Chicken Eggs - One and a Half Dozen
$9.00
Eighteen eggs, priced to save on the per-egg cost versus a single dozen
Our Farmstead Chicken Eggs are gathered daily from a small flock of hens kept in a clean, well-maintained coop with a large outdoor run. This option includes one and a half dozen eggs (18 total)—ideal for families, frequent cooks, or anyone who goes through eggs a little faster.
Expect rich yolks, firm whites, and strong shells, with natural shell color variation ranging from brown to blue depending on the hen. These eggs are dependable, flavorful, and consistent—perfect for everyday breakfasts, baking, and cooking where quality matters.
All eggs are hand-collected, carefully handled, and rotated for freshness. Quantities are limited and availability changes week to week based on natural laying patterns. You must be on our drop list to receive notifications when this size is available.
Collected fresh. Sold with integrity. Just the way we do things on the farm.

About this product
Eighteen pasture-raised chicken eggs from Bryant Creek Heights in Conway, Pennsylvania. Same hens, same pasture, same hand-collection as our dozen: a mix of brown shells from our Rhode Island Reds and blue-green shells from our Easter Eggers, with the deep orange yolks and thick whites that come from birds raised on real ground.
The eighteen-count exists because a lot of our regulars go through a dozen and a half in a week and would rather make one pickup than two. If you cook eggs most mornings, bake often, or feed a full house, this is the size that stops you from running out on a Thursday.
The hens are Rhode Island Reds and Easter Eggers, both heritage-style dual-purpose breeds that live on pasture, forage bugs and greens, and finish on non-GMO feed. No artificial lighting, no cages, no beak trimming, no antibiotics. Eggs are collected by hand every day and never machine-washed, which preserves the bloom on the shell and dramatically extends how long they stay fresh.
Cracking an eighteen count into a mixing bowl for weekend baking or breakfast for six is one of those small kitchen luxuries you do not know you are missing until you have real eggs in the fridge on a Sunday morning. Yolks this fresh emulsify better in mayonnaise, hollandaise, and pasta doughs. Whites this fresh whip more stably for meringues and soufflés. Store-bought eggs, weeks or months old before you get them, do neither well.
Storage: unwashed farm eggs keep on the counter for a couple of weeks or in the fridge for months. Store pointed end down so the airspace stays on top and the yolk stays centered. If you are not sure how old an egg is, drop it in a bowl of water: fresh eggs sink flat, older eggs stand on end, truly old eggs float.
Winter production dips a little because we do not force short-day laying with artificial lights. If the eighteen count is temporarily unavailable, the twelve count is usually still in stock, or you can join the farm list on this page for a text when the flock catches up. Local pickup only at the farm, 1701 Sampson Street, Conway PA 15027, scheduled by text.
Frequently asked
How is the eighteen-count different from two dozens?
Same eggs, same hens, same pasture. The eighteen-count is priced for the household that wants more than twelve but does not need twenty-four, and it counts as one order against our two-dozen-per-household cap.
Can I mix an eighteen with a dozen in one order?
Yes, up to our two-dozen household cap. Once you check out, we text you to schedule pickup at the farm.
Why do the shells come in different colors?
Because the flock includes Rhode Island Reds (brown eggs) and Easter Eggers (blue and green eggs). Shell color is genetic and does not change the flavor or the nutrition.
