Boarwoods Farm's open-air mobile coop, rotated between pasture and wooded lots in Arab, Alabama.
Our Egg Farms
Every carton of eggs in the Hub comes from a named farm near Huntsville. Here they are, in their own words.
Boarwoods Farm
Boarwoods Farm is a small woman/veteran owned farmstead in Arab, Alabama. We focus on raising healthy hens and hogs, allowing each animal to express their natural behavior, such as scratching & pecking and rootin' & wallerin'. Our eggs are laid by hens raised on open pastures and supplemented by non-GMO, no-corn/no-soy feed. Eggs are collected and packaged by hand each day to ensure freshness and the highest quality.

Our family made Alabama home in 2015 and in 2019 the land for Harman Ridge Homestead was purchased. We are nestled on 18+ acres in Gurley, Alabama overlooking the Paint Rock Valley.

Hens raised outdoors on pasture, rotated regularly to fresh ground, naturally foraging for bugs, grasses, and seeds, collected fresh from our farm in New Market, Alabama. We collect eggs daily and bring them straight from the farm to the Hub, so they're about as fresh as it gets.

Eggs We Carry
The weekly lineup shifts with the season and the flock, but these are the eggs our farms bring through the Hub.
Chicken eggs by the dozen
The staple. Dozens from Boarwoods Farm, Grey & Bash Farm, Short Creek Homestead, Apollo Acres, Foundry Farms, and more, most running $5 to $8 depending on the farm and feed program. Several farms feed non-GMO rations with no corn and no soy.
Half dozens and 30-egg flats
Half dozens from Boarwoods Farm and J & C Local Farms are an easy way to try a new farm. Cooking for a crowd? Boarwoods packs a 30-egg flat in a reusable container you return to the Hub or the farm.
Small and medium pullet eggs
When young hens start laying, their eggs run small to medium for a few months. Boarwoods Farm and Harman Ridge Homestead sell these at a lower price, and they usually swap one to one in any recipe.
Turkey eggs
Harman Ridge Homestead collects eggs from its turkey flock. A turkey egg has roughly double the calories and protein of a chicken egg, with a thicker shell and a richer, creamier flavor.
Goose eggs, in season
Late winter through late spring, Harman Ridge Homestead offers goose eggs from its pair of Roman geese. One goose egg equals about three chicken eggs, and the rich whites and yolks shine in baking, pasta, and lemon curd.
What Makes Our Eggs Different
Non-GMO, Corn-Free, and Soy-Free Options
Several of our farms supplement their pasture flocks with non-GMO feed containing no corn and no soy, including locally milled rations. Boarwoods Farm, Harman Ridge Homestead, and Short Creek Homestead all raise their hens this way, and each listing spells out exactly what the hens eat.
Hens That Actually Live on Pasture
Mobile coops and chicken tractors move the flocks to fresh grass on a rotation. The hens forage for bugs, seeds, and greens every day, which is where the deep orange yolks come from.
Collected by Hand, Days Before Pickup
Our farms gather eggs daily and bring them straight to the Hub for Tuesday pickup. Grocery store eggs can be weeks older before they ever reach the shelf.
Direct From Farmer to You
Producers set their own prices and keep 95% of every sale. When you buy eggs through the Hub, your money goes to a farm you can name, and stays in the North Alabama food economy.
Common Questions About Our Eggs
What does pasture-raised mean?
At the Hub, pasture-raised means hens live outdoors on open pasture with access to shelter. They forage for insects and plants naturally, producing eggs with deep orange yolks and firm whites.
How are Hub eggs different from grocery store eggs?
There is no federal definition of 'pasture-raised,' so a grocery store label may or may not be backed by a certification. Hub eggs come from named farms near Huntsville that describe exactly how their hens live, and you can ask the farmer directly.
Why are the eggs different colors and sizes?
Our farms keep a mix of heritage breeds, so one carton can hold white, cream, brown, blue, and green eggs in a range of sizes. Shell color doesn't change the flavor or nutrition. The deep orange yolks come from hens foraging on grass, bugs, and seeds instead of a feedlot diet.
How much do pasture-raised eggs cost at the Hub?
Most dozens run $5 to $8 depending on the farm and its feed program, and half dozens start at $3.50. Producers set their own prices and keep 95% of the price they set, so your egg money goes to the farm, not a middleman.
How fresh are the eggs?
Days from the nest, not weeks. Our farms collect eggs daily, most wash and pack them by hand, and orders come straight from the farm to Tuesday pickup. Grocery store eggs can be weeks older by the time they reach the shelf.
Do you have anything besides chicken eggs?
Yes. Harman Ridge Homestead brings turkey eggs and seasonal goose eggs. Specialty eggs are small-batch and sell out quickly, so check the store early in the ordering window.
