Title

Eggs from Maple Meadow Farm Vermont Egg Producer

Description

ge C. Devoid and provides brown and white shell eggs to wholesale accounts in Vermont and a few New York border towns. In addition, we have a small retail store at the farm selling eggs (including “Super Jumbos”) dairy products by Monument Farms a local dairy and our very own Maple Syrup. The farm is currently operated by George E. (founder George C.’s son) and Jackie Devoid along with daughter Jen and several loyal employees.

Our laying flock is made up of Rhode Island Red and White Leghorn hybrids. Our white hens lay the white eggs and the Reds lay the brown eggs. For many years we produced only brown eggs as Vermont was a “brown egg state”. With the advances in technology and the market place expanding, we began experiencing competition in our market from the Midwest. These farms produce only white eggs. In order to compete we added white hens to the mix.

We are often asked about the difference in brown & white eggs. Truly there is no difference, other than the shell. In general, brown eggs tend to have a slightly thicker shell. This is all subject to the hen’s age and how long they have been laying. As the hen ages, her eggs become larger and eventually the shells become a little bit thinner.
