There are 7 to 17 thousand tiny pores on the shell surface, a greater number at the large end. As the egg ages, these tiny holes permit moisture and carbon dioxide to move out and air to move in to form the air cell. The egg can also absorb refrigerator odors through the pores, so always refrigerate eggs in their cartons.

For more than 75 years, our family-owned farm has been providing nutritious, quality eggs to the Pacific Northwest. Today, we’re proud to offer a variety of eggs and egg products, including cage-free, cage-free organic and conventional.

 

At Willamette Egg Farms, our mission is to produce the finest, freshest quality eggs while caring for our animals, environment, community and employees.
