Where’s the Wag?

Posted November 9th, 2011

by Amber, Perishables Buyer
Much to everyone’s chagrin, we have been out of stock of Wag Organics bulk farm direct eggs for a couple weeks now.  I’ve finally been able to get in touch with Wes, and I’m sorry to inform you all that our bulk farm direct eggs will be out of stock until spring. 

Why so long?  Chickens lay less eggs in the winter, for a couple of reasons.  Their access to natural daylight diminishes, and most birds need about 14 hours to keep up production.  Winter is also the time of year when chickens molt, meaning that they are using a lot of their protein to create new feathers to keep them warm, thus directing less energy towards producing eggs.

To make up for this lack of supply, I’ve brought back an old favorite of the Co-op: Phoenix’s Egg Farm organic, farm direct, local eggs by the dozen.  Learn more about their farm and how awesome it is here, or check out the article I wrote last week regarding their Cornucopia Institute egg score card!
