Continue getting your organic-fed, free-range eggs this winter from Granja Las Aguilas! This coming November through May, we will offer a limited number of egg subscriptions. Each subscription consists of 2 shares of 2 dozen eggs, delivered to a pick-up location every 2 weeks.
You make one prepayment of $28 at the beginning of the month (due on the Friday before the first drop off). We will drop off at a couple pickup points in South Minneapolis twice monthly (1st and 3rd Saturday afternoons), so you get two weeks worth of eggs in each pickup.
Please note that the GrownBy shop defines each pickup as a "share" so that shares/pickups are priced at $14 each, and there are 2 in each month, which also equals $28. The prepay discount is 12.5%, $1 per dozen off of our market price of $8.
Subscriptions do not roll over to the next month. You must re-order for each month here before the beginning of the next month. This allows us to adjust for variances in production during the winter. This page will be updated with the number of available shares about two weeks in advance of the upcoming month.
Pick-up dates: 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month
Locations and Times:
- Powderhorn Park Building, 1:00pm to 1:30pm (parking lot or playground)
- Burroughs Elementary parking lot 2pm to 2:30pm (in front of the playground)
- Farm Pickup (any time, just pick what is listed and contact us to set up a time that works for you)
We recommend one subscription per each member of your household who eats eggs for breakfast most days (e.g. 1 person eating 2 eggs a day 6 days per week want one subscription). If your family consumes more than 1 dozen per week, you are welcome to purchase multiple shares for that month. If it’s in stock here, there are still egg subscriptions available.

Production method
Pastured, free-range, organic-fed, grass-fed
Granja Las Aguilas offers eggs, meat chickens, lamb, strawberries, and a selection of veggies. We use organic methods and certified organic inputs (e.g. fertilizer, animal feed, etc), but Granja Las Aguilas is not currently certified organic. We (Silvano and Gina) have between us over a decade of experience in organic agriculture.
Other environmental practices:
- We protect our nearby waterways from livestock with a large setback (distance) and high-tensile fence that separates our pastures from the wetlands bordering our farm. We see dozens of varieties of birds and other creatures gracing our wetlands! Please come by for photography and general relaxation.
- We practice rotational and managed grazing for the health of our soil and animals.
- We have lots of milkweed and "weeds" beneficial to pollinators and insects, that we try to let stand whenever possible. Even the stand of milkweed that stubbornly inhabits the garden!
- We are constantly learning about new methods in regenerative agriculture, and how we can improve our processes.
