Oak & Iron Farm™
Small-flock, true free-range eggs produced in Aiken, South Carolina.
Our hens roam freely across open pasture during the day and return to a protected coop at night. Eggs are collected daily and handled carefully to maintain freshness and quality.
Standard large eggs
Balanced flavor and texture
Ideal for everyday cooking and baking
Larger eggs with thicker shells
Higher yolk-to-white ratio
Richer texture, especially suited for baking
At Oak & Iron Farm, true free-range means unrestricted pasture access, not small fenced runs.
Our hens:
• Roam approximately 5 open acres daily
• Forage naturally for grasses, insects, seeds, and minerals
• Receive supplemental feed to maintain balanced nutrition
• Return to a protected coop at night for safety
• Lay eggs that are collected fresh each day
This natural diet and movement often produces eggs with:
• Richer yolk color
• Thicker shells
• Excellent texture for cooking and baking

These eggs are unwashed farm eggs. Commercial grocery eggs are washed, which removes the egg’s natural protective coating (called the bloom). Because our eggs retain this natural bloom, they stay fresh longer but require simple handling guidelines.
Keep eggs refrigerated. Recommended refrigerator temperature is 34–40°F
Refrigeration slows natural aging and maintains quality.
When refrigerated:
• Best quality: within 4–6 weeks of purchase
• Often safe longer if kept refrigerated and shells remain intact
• Sinks and lays flat → very fresh
• Sinks but stands upright → still usable
• Floats → discard
