As egg prices soar and store shelves often sit empty, many families in the Upland, Claremont, and La Verne areas are turning to local farms for a reliable supply of fresh eggs. Visiting these farms not only ensures you get the freshest eggs but also supports our local agriculture.
If you’ve never had farm-fresh eggs before, you’re in for a treat! Fresh eggs are often richer in flavor, have brighter yolks, and firmer whites, making them perfect for cooking and baking. Unlike store-bought eggs, which can sit in storage for weeks before reaching shelves, farm-fresh eggs are usually gathered daily.
Not only do farm fresh eggs taste better, but they tend to have more nutrients due to the varied diets of free-range hens. Many small farms allow their chickens to roam, eating a natural diet that results in eggs with higher levels of omega-3s and vitamins like A, D, and E. Plus, when you buy directly from the farm, you know exactly where your food is coming from and can sometimes even see how the chickens are raised.
