This month’s In Season features farm-fresh eggs from Falkner Farms. Reed Falkner shares more about this Oxford family farm:
Q: Tell us about your farm.
A: Falkner Farms is home to grass-fed cattle and pasture-raised chickens. We are a family-owned and -operated farm located in Oxford. Our regenerative practices allow for our cattle and chickens to constantly rotate throughout our farm. Our goal is to continue to provide our community and customers with quality beef and eggs.
Q: What makes farm-fresh eggs special?
A: In my opinion, the difference in our eggs compared to store eggs is how the chickens are raised. Pasture raised means something to us, and it should to the consumer as well. Our chickens are raised outside and rotated on our pastures, year-round. Multiple moves each week to fresh pasture and ample room to roam around allows for these hens to forage on grasses, grubs and insects. We aim to provide conditions that optimize the health of the chickens. The quality of the egg produced is just a result of the care they are given.
Purchase Falkner Farms eggs at the Midtown Farmers Market (open Saturday mornings), Oxford Community Market (open Tuesday afternoons); at Chicory Market and Larson’s Cash Saver; or by stopping by the farm, 76 Highway 328. Additionally, local restaurants including GRIT, Kingswood and Tarasque have been committed to using Falkner Farms eggs for many years.
