How Long Do Farm-Fresh Eggs Really Last? (PART 1)

In honor of our first fresh eggs on the farm let’s talk a little about eggs. 

These unwashed eggs can sit on your counter and be just fine for 2-3 weeks.

Pop those unwashed eggs in the fridge and they are good up to 3 months! 

If you wash them and place them in the fridge, they are good for 2 months. 

We choose to wash our eggs right before we eat them! 

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this topic where we will chat about store-bought eggs versus farm fresh!
