Navigating Egg Labels with Your Farmer

Navigating Egg Labels with Your Farmer

Food labels can often be confusing or even misleading. Let’s break them down together.

When you see the label “free range”, what do you picture?

Chickens frolicking through green pasture all day long?! At least that’s what the picture on some egg cartons shows, but that may not be the reality.

There are so many options at the store: Free-range, Certified Humane, Cage-free, Omega-3 Enriched, Organic, Vegetarian Fed, etc.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed and just choose the first carton you find without a broken egg or the one with the prettiest picture.

Check out this blog post to learn what the labels actually mean.

Farmhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies

There aren’t many things that I’ve made more of than homemade chocolate chip cookies. We made them a lot with my mom growing up. I make them every month or so and we always make about 6 batches right before Christmas to have on hand for Christmas parties.

Once we found out our butcher will render the fatback into lard for us, I knew I had to try it in baked goods! I’ve tried a few recipes where lard was the only fat I used in the cookies, but my absolute favorite is a mixture of both lard and butter. The lard adds moistness and chewiness while the butter adds that richness I love in a cookie.
