@kortman.acres: Farm Fresh Facts: • Did you know fresh eggs have something called a protective bloom on them? It’s an invisible protective membrane over the shell-it seals the egg from oxygen and bacteria thus protecting it. • For longest lasting eggs, do not wash them until you’re ready to eat them! To wash, rinse carefully in warm water without soap. • Washed eggs must be refrigerated and last about 2 months, unwashed refrigerated eggs last about 3 months. • You can also leave eggs unwashed on your countertops, those last about 21 days(3 weeks). • What’s your preferred way to store farm fresh eggs? . #farmfresheggs #farmtotable #farmlife #countrychickens #chickeneggs
I put information “cards” in each carton of eggs I sell that explains the egg handling process! My customers LOVE IT and said to never stop b/c it’s so helpful. 🥰

bad dude :
check them by the float sink method. if you have them on the counter for a month or more unwashed fill a bowl with water. if the egg sinks to the bottom it's good. if it floats it's bad

perfect! love this! important to also note that grocery stores only require eggs to hit their shelves within 60 days, and their expiration date is much after that!

I used our washed, refrigerated eggs that were roughly a month old for dyeing easter eggs. I was shocked when I went to boil them and some were partially floating. Probably best to do float test after a month 🤷♀️
