www.durksenfarm.com

Finally we received our farmer sausage!  Just arrived out of the smokehouse at Unger Meats.  We are also seeing some brisk sales on many of our other pork products, especially bacon, breakfast sausages and other things.  Order soon to make sure we have some available!  See our Products page for info on pricing.

Free Range Egg fact –  When you buy eggs in the store, they are often labeled as Free Run and sometimes as Free Range.  People often wonder what is the difference.  Free Run eggs are chickens which are not kept in a small cage, but are nevertheless kept indoors in a barn.  They get excercise, but the quality of the egg may not be much different than conventional eggs.  Free Range, on the other hand, are layed by hens which are given access to the outdoors and allowed to eat grasses and other greens and scratch for worms and bugs.  These eggs generally have a much deeper yellow yolk and are more flavourful and healthier, and the chickens are much happier as well! :)  Our laying hens have daily access to the entire farm and range around for anything they want.   Keep and eye on our Tips and Recipes page.
