on the "health benefits of pastured eggs"!

Fruit of the Coop, LLC is a 7-acre farm located in the watershed of the Big Sioux River near Brandon, South Dakota.  In addition to selling eggs from our own flock of heritage and hybrid chickens, we source eggs from other small flocks around Southeast South Dakota.  All the chickens are pasture-raised on natural grains and forage, which gives the yolks of their eggs a deep golden color, strong shells and higher nutritional value for the consumer.  Our eggs can be purchased at Coffea Roasterie and Breadico Sourdough Bread Company and can be eaten at these restaurants: Morrie's Steakhouse, Grille 26, Minerva’s Restaurant, Parker’s Bistro, Breadico Sourdough Bread Company, the Sioux Falls Food Co-op, The Harvester Kitchen by Bryan, and Looks Marketplace  We want to sell to chefs and restaurants who truly want a relationship with their farmer. We believe in bringing local food to Sioux Falls area establishments and helping to revitalize small and mid-level agriculture in rural economies and communities.

In my role as a local producer, I am an expert in chicken keeping and all things related to the processing and selling of eggs. In addition to teaching backyard chicken keeping classes throughout the region, I have advocated for local food systems and sustainable agriculture through my work with the Sioux Falls Food Council, the Sioux Falls Thrive Food Security Action Team, the City of Sioux Falls Sustainability Committee, the Sioux Falls Urban Agriculture Coalition, Dakota Rural Action and the National Family Farm Coalition.
