Our eggs
Pastured eggs from land that improves with every season.
Our hens graze on open pasture in Kuusjoki, Finland. Daily rotation, graded at our own facility, and sold within days of lay. Available by subscription or single order.
Egg
Quality you'll notice.
What you'll experience
Crack open a pastured egg and you'll see the difference. The yolk is plump and holds its shape. The colour is deep gold, sometimes almost orange, depending on the season and what the hens have been foraging. The white is firm, not watery.
This isn't marketing. It's what happens when hens eat a varied diet of grasses, insects, and forage alongside their feed. Carotenoids from fresh plants give the yolk its colour. A more complete diet produces a more complete egg.
From nest to tray
Eggs roll from the nest box into a protected conveyor and are collected daily. We grade every egg in our own facility using a Riva Selegg S21 grader. Each tray contains a mix of sizes, from S to XL. We prioritise animal welfare and production method over uniformity.
We sell eggs within 7 days of lay. The best before date is 28 days from lay. That's a short chain by any standard.

Storing your eggs
Store eggs at consistent temperatures for up to one month.
Best if kept in a dark and dry environment approx. 15 °C.
Testing our claims
Research suggests pastured eggs contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin E. We plan to have our eggs independently tested once our first flock is laying, and we'll publish the results.
Until then, crack one open. You'll see and taste the difference before you read the data.
Hens
Healthy hens, honest eggs.
Our breed
We raise Brown Nick hens, a hybrid selected for reliable lay rate and well-documented performance data. They are available in Finland from a certified hatchery and are well-suited to the mobile pasture systems. We keep our hens for two full grazing seasons.

Health and welfare
Hens that move to fresh ground daily encounter fewer parasites and less stress. Combined with lower stocking density and access to natural forage, this means healthier birds that rarely need intervention. When they do, we treat individually rather than medicating the whole flock.
Healthy hens produce better eggs. The nutritional profile of a pastured egg reflects what the hen ate and how she lived. We keep our practices visible so you can judge the connection between animal welfare and what ends up on your plate.
Coops
Housing that moves.
Mobile by design
Our hens live in mobile hoop coops designed in collaboration with Green Tools Tech. Each coop is a greenhouse-style structure mounted on skids, approximately 6 by 16 metres. They are fitted with automatic feeders and on-board water, and move across the pasture daily during the grazing season.
The hoop coop model was pioneered in Finland by Tuiskula Farm. Compared with open-range systems, this design allows birds to be fully enclosed when mandated by avian influenza regulations while maintaining light, airflow, and mobility.
Clean eggs by design
Each coop is fitted with Green Tools Tech's roll-away nest box system. Hens lay in the nest box, and the egg rolls gently onto a protected conveyor belt. This keeps eggs clean from the moment they are laid and brings them to a single collection point for easy daily pickup.
The system reduces cracked eggs, eliminates contact with bedding, and makes collection faster and more hygienic. It's one of the reasons we can maintain grading standards for commercial sale.
Built for Finnish regulations
Finnish avian influenza rules require all poultry to be kept in enclosed housing during spring migration, typically from February through May, to prevent contact with migratory birds. Our hoop coops are fitted with integrated net canopies that move with the coop. This means our hens can remain on pasture, on fresh ground, with natural light and airflow, even during housing mandates.
Feed
Every ingredient is a choice.
On pasture
From May through October, our hens forage on open pasture. Grasses, clover, insects, seeds. They can supplement up to 30% of their diet naturally from what they find on the ground. This variety is what gives pastured eggs their character: the deep yolk colour, the firm whites, the flavour.

Responsibly sourced
Alongside forage, we provide feed from Rehux, a Finnish feed manufacturer based in Tarvasjoki. The feed is soy-free, fish-free, and corn-free. We cannot label it organic under Finnish regulations because our operation is not certified organic (as pasture poultry does not fit nicely into organic regulations), but the feed is responsibly sourced from regional grain suppliers.
Fresh greens, even during winter
In winter, when pasture is dormant, we grow microgreens on-farm. Wheat and oat sprouts grown in indoor trays, roughly 4 to 6 trays per coop per day, supplemented with pumpkin when we can grow it. This gives the hens fresh green matter year-round and helps maintain egg quality even through the dark months.
Pasture
The land shapes the egg.
Daily rotation
From May through October, the coops move to fresh pasture every day. Each move gives the hens access to new ground with fresh grasses and insects. Behind them, the pasture recovers.
This is rotational grazing applied to poultry. Short occupation followed by long rest means manure is distributed in small doses across the whole grazing area rather than concentrated in one spot. The nitrogen and phosphorus feed soil microbes, which break organic matter into forms that grass roots can absorb. Rest periods allow root systems to deepen and leaf area to regrow, which improves water infiltration and builds organic matter over time. Scratching incorporates manure into the topsoil and breaks up thatch.
The result is pasture that grows back denser and more diverse after each rotation cycle. The hens improve the land they live on.
Stocking density
System designed for minimum 4 hens per m²
Lower than the 6 per m² under organic standards
More space, less stress, healthier pasture
Through the dark months
When the fields become too moist in October, the coops stop moving and are parked for winter. The hens stay in the same coops with outdoor access. In practice, hens rarely venture out in snow, but the option is always there.
Inside, we use the deep bedding method. We start with at least 30 centimetres of bedding and keep adding throughout the season. The bedding absorbs manure, generates warmth, and keeps the birds comfortable. Fresh microgreens supplement their diet daily.
By spring, the deep bedding has become 75 to 100 cubic metres of raw compost. After a year of composting, it will go to the planned market garden, reducing our need for imported fertility. The hens feed the soil that will feed the vegetables.
