The eggshell accounts for about 9 to 12% of an egg's total weight, depending on egg size. The hen uses about the same amount of calcium carbonate and other minerals to make a shell, no matter how big the egg, so the shells of smaller eggs are usually thicker and stronger than the shells of larger eggs.

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.
