We got a great question this week:
Why does it matter if eggs are washed — and should I refrigerate them?

Fresh eggs have a natural protective coating called the bloom that helps keep bacteria out.

Unwashed eggs still have the bloom and can be stored at room temp for a time.

Washed eggs lose that coating and should be refrigerated.

👉 At Stormy Farms, we wash our eggs — so they should be kept refrigerated once you take them home.

And if you want to talk eggs in person (or grab a dozen 😉), you can find us year-round at .
