Mommy Greenest Approved: Blue Sky Family Farms Pasture Raised & Free Range Eggs
What’s the difference between caged and cage-free hens? Not much. The animals still spend their entire lives packed into a barn with hundreds of other hens, living their lives in just one square foot of space, on average. But because the public believes that cage-free is better, companies like McDonalds, Starbucks and Costco have embraced plans to phase out caged and heavily market cage-free eggs. As the egg-heavy Easter and Passover season is just around the corner, it’s important to know what you’re buying into when it comes to your eggs–and why pasture raised and free range eggs are better.

So this year, I plan to shake things up a bit with three easy steps to create an organic Easter celebration to believe in. Join me?
