Bluebird Sky Farmstead is a regenerative livestock operation in southwest Longmont. Danny and Annaliese are owners and operators who run pastured pigs, layer hens, layer ducks, and a variety of meat birds too. Bluebird Sky Farmstead's main focus is building the soil on their windy 30 acres, because good soil means nutritious food (for the animals and ourselves). They also make sure to have plenty of varieties of chickens, which results in many different colored eggs! Variety is the spice of life after all.
This egg share is meant for a family of 1-2 and you will receive 12 eggs/week. These eggs have been washed, so please keep them refrigerated. They stay fresh for up to 2 months, but there are quick tests you can do at home (and find on YouTube) if you ever wish to test egg freshness. You can leave the old cartoons at the pickup sites, and we will make sure they find a home for future eggs. You can follow Bluebird Sky Farmstead on Instagram.

Production method
Bluebird Sky Farmstead's layers live in mobile trailers in groups of about 150. They are let out each morning with a ration of food to make sure they get all the micro nutrients they need. Then, they graze a fenced area hunting bugs, grass, and food scraps all day until they choose to go back home to roost. At night, Danny and Annaliese close them in from predators. Each week they are moved to a new area of grassland.
