Eggs

Through our CSA you have the option of purchasing eggs with your vegetable box. We source our eggs from Dale and Amy Ringger of Ringger Family Farm in Bastrop County.

From Dale Ringger:
Ringger Family Farm started in Bastrop County in 2002. Our main farm enterprise is raising pastured laying hens, along with a few dairy and meat goats. The way we raise our chickens creates a different product for consumers who are interested in healthy and local foods.

We use no chemicals or hormones with our chickens or our pasture. We move the chickens about once a week to a new section of pasture so they get new grass and bugs to eat. An "eggmobile" is moved along with the chickens so that they have a place to lay the eggs, and some protection from the wind and sun. Moving them across pasture also provides for a more evenly distributed return of fertilizer to the soil. Their diet is supplemented with a high-quality high-variety feed and organic vitamins and minerals. Some of our regular egg customers are restaurants (e.g. Uchi, Vespaio) and Fete Accompli catering in Austin.

Eggs are $5/dozen or $2.50/half dozen and can easily be added to your CSA share when you sign up or renew. If you'd like to add eggs to an existing share, just send us an email or give us a call!
