Common questions

Pastured eggs come from hens that live outdoors on open pasture, moved to fresh ground regularly so the land can recover behind them. This is a different system from free-range or indoor chickens, where hens typically have access to a fixed outdoor area attached to a stationary building. The movement is what matters: it keeps the hens on fresh vegetation and prevents the ground from being overgrazed. Learn more on our Eggs page.

Our hens live in mobile hoop coops that move across the pasture. They follow the principles of holistic planned grazing: short grazing periods on any one area, long recovery before the flock returns. The hens forage grasses, insects, and seeds. At night, the coop provides shelter and protection.

Our current flock is Brown Nick, a reliable and hardy laying breed well suited to life in the Finnish climate.

The hens receive a full daily ration of responsibly sourced feed, supplemented by whatever they find on pasture: grasses, clover, seeds, insects, and worms. Pasture foraging can make up a meaningful share of their diet and is one of the reasons the yolks are so richly coloured.

The deep orange colour comes from carotenoids, natural pigments found in the grasses, plants, and insects the hens eat while foraging on pasture. The colour varies with the season and the quality of the pasture. No colourants are added to the feed.

Yes, our eggs are available year-round. Though, egg production varies seasonally. Hens lay most actively from spring through autumn when daylight hours are long. Production naturally decreases through late autumn and winter as days shorten. Seasonal availability is reflected in our subscription plans and current stock. See the Shop for availability.

The hens stay in the same mobile coops year-round. In winter, the coops stop moving and are parked in one place. We use the deep bedding method: at least 30 centimetres of bedding on the coop floor, with fresh bedding added throughout the season. The hens scratch and turn the bedding, which absorbs manure. In spring, when the coops move back to pasture, the winter bedding is set aside to compost for the planned market garden.

We comply fully with the Finnish Food Authority (Ruokavirasto) regulations. When mandatory indoor housing orders are in effect, our hoop coop system allows the hens to remain housed while still meeting all regulatory requirements. Egg production may be affected during extended confinement periods. We communicate any disruptions to customers directly.

Our eggs are graded according to Finnish and EU regulations. Each egg is inspected, stamped with a producer code, and packed with a best before date. Certified grading begins September 2026. For more detail on the grading process, see our Eggs page.

Pastured egg production is labour-intensive. The hens live outdoors, the coop is moved regularly, and the flock size is small compared to industrial operations. Our pricing reflects the true cost of raising hens this way: daily care, pasture management, responsibly sourced feed, and the time it takes to do things well at a small scale. See the Pricing page for current plans.

Each tray is marked with a best before date, set at 28 days from the date of laying in accordance with EU regulation. Stored at room temperature, eggs stay fresh through the best before date. We recommend eating them fresh.

Finland has one of the world's most rigorous salmonella control programmes. Salmonella is practically non-existent in Finnish poultry. Our hens are monitored under this national programme. Many Finnish households use raw eggs in dishes like homemade mayonnaise. As with all fresh food, standard food hygiene practices apply.

No. We offer two ways to buy: subscribe for regular pickup (trays of 30 only), or pick free choice when you want them (trays of 30 or cartons of 10). Both can be ordered online. Free choice eggs are also available at our self-service kiosk in Kuusjoki (daily 7 to 21) or at any collection drop while supplies last. See the Eggs page for both options.

You choose a plan (monthly, seasonal, or annual), a tray quantity, and a collection frequency. Eggs are available for collection at your chosen collection point on a regular schedule. You receive a notification with your pickup code before each collection. See the Pricing page for plans and pricing.

You can edit your order up until 24 hours before your scheduled pickup, including pausing or cancelling. Monthly subscribers are not charged for paused periods. Seasonal and annual plans are paid upfront, and missed pickups that are not paused in advance are not refunded. Manage your subscription through your order account.

Yes. Anyone can collect eggs on your behalf using your pickup code. Share the code with whoever is collecting for you.

Eggs are available for collection only. You collect from the point you selected when finalising your order. See the Collect page for collection points and schedules.

If you need a non-standard arrangement, or you are ordering for a business, restaurant, or event, submit an order request and we will get back to you.

You collect your eggs at the point you selected when you placed your order. Collection points and their schedules are listed on the Collect page.

Eggs are available during a specified pickup window at your collection point. You will receive a notification with the time and your pickup code before each collection.

If you know in advance, pause your order at least 24 hours before the pickup window. If you cannot collect yourself, send someone else with your pickup code. If you miss a pickup without pausing, monthly subscribers are not charged; seasonal and annual subscribers forfeit that pickup.

Pickup is from your assigned location only. If you need to change your regular pickup point, you can update your order.

Just your pickup code. Otherwise, there is nothing else you need to bring. We provide the eggs and the trays they come in.

Yes. We hold a recurring open morning on the second Saturday of each month during the season. Come by for coffee, see the hens, walk the land, and meet us. See the Visit page for details and directions.

The second Saturday of each month during the production season. Check the Visit page for upcoming dates and any changes to the schedule.

We are in Kuusjoki, within the municipality of Salo in Southwest Finland. The Visit page has directions by car, bus, and other transport options, along with a map.

You can move freely around the farm but unfortunately the old main building does not comply with current accessibility requirements.

Karl and Johanna Wiberg bought this land in 1873, marking the first generation in our family to steward this land. During a period of Finnish history when many families replaced their Swedish surnames with Finnish ones, the Wiberg family took the name of the farm estate: Härri, from Ali-Härri. The Swedish name was left behind. Generations later, Johannes Wiberg Härri and Steven Curtis met in Sweden. When we started the farm, we chose to bring the original family name back. Wiberg's connects the farm to its earliest recorded history and to our own.

Regenerative farming is an approach that aims to restore and improve the health of soil, water, and ecosystems through how the land is managed. Rather than just sustaining what exists, the goal is to leave the land in better condition than we found it, while producing nutritious food and supporting the livelihoods of farmers and the local community. On our farm, this means diverse enterprises (animals, crops, forest), planned grazing, minimal soil disturbance, and continuous measurement of outcomes. Learn more on the Our Approach page.

Our eggs are not certified organic. EU organic certification for laying hens requires specific housing conditions, including solid flooring in the coop, that were designed for stationary barn systems. Our mobile pastured system, where the hens live outdoors on rotating pasture, does not fit within these housing requirements. This is a structural mismatch between the certification framework and how pastured poultry actually works, rather than a reflection of our farming standards. Our feed is responsibly sourced. Our fields have been free of conventional inputs for over five years. We are working with other pastured poultry producers in Finland to advocate for recognition of mobile pastured systems within EU certification frameworks.

Holistic Management is a decision-making framework for land management. It helps us plan how and when animals graze, how we allocate resources, and how we test whether our actions are moving us toward our goals. We use it to design our grazing plans and to make day-to-day management decisions across the farm. Learn more on the Our Approach page.
