Wanted Raw Foods Egg FAQs
1. How do your eggs arrive?
Our eggs are shipped unrefrigerated in a sturdy, protective box with layered cushioning to keep cartons secure. Our eggs are harvested and gently cleaned of debris, but not washed. This preserves the natural protective bloom on the shell.
You may store unwashed eggs on the counter for 3 to 4 weeks. For the longest shelf life, we recommend refrigerating them upon arrival.
2. How long do your eggs last?
Because the natural bloom is left intact, our eggs last longer than typical store-bought eggs. They can last 3 to 4 weeks unrefrigerated and up to 2 months or longer when refrigerated.
All eggs you receive are laid within the previous 7 days. Shelf life can vary based on handling and storage conditions.
3. Should I wash my eggs?
You do not need to wash them unless you prefer to. If washing, use warm running water and gently rub the shell by hand. Once washed, eggs should be refrigerated.
For maximum shelf life, we recommend refrigerating eggs unwashed.
4. Why are your eggs so clean if they are farm fresh?
Clean eggs are the result of diligent nest-box management and pasture rotation—not washing. While occasional dirty eggs can happen, most eggs arrive very clean due to careful coop maintenance.
5. What does “pasture raised” mean for your eggs?
The term “pasture raised” is not regulated and can mean very different things.
Our hens are rotated across pasture using mobile coops, giving them regular access to fresh grass, insects, and forage in a regenerative system—far beyond minimal outdoor access.
6. Are your eggs organic?
We are not certified organic by choice. Instead, we focus on full transparency and control over how our eggs are produced.
We work directly with regenerative row-crop farmers and oversee our custom feed blends rather than relying on pre-made feeds from unknown sources.
7. Are your eggs tested for glyphosate?
Independent laboratory testing has shown no detectable glyphosate residue in our eggs at the time of testing.
This reflects our sourcing standards, regenerative partnerships, and careful feed oversight. Testing results reflect samples tested and are not a guarantee of future results.
8. Are your eggs 100% grass fed?
Chickens are omnivores, not vegetarians. There is no such thing as a 100% grass-fed chicken.
Our hens forage grass, insects, and seeds on pasture and are supplemented with a carefully formulated, non-GMO feed to meet their nutritional needs.
