\"\"<\/a>Are you a fan of our fabulous weekend brunch menus<\/a> and our Bialy Egg Sandwiches? This June our cafes made the switch to using cage-free eggs from Stiebrs Farms<\/a> in Yelm. With their amazing golden yolks, their fresh eggs look great and taste delicious. We\u2019re very proud to be using them for all of our brunch and caf\u00e9 pastry offerings.<\/p>\n

Leslie first became familiar with Stiebrs Farms eggs at the grocery store. She was delighted to learn that the eggs that she bought for home use were from Yelm. It was natural to want to use them at our cafes. As eggs age, they lose both flavor and nutritional value. Stiebrs\u2019 proximity to Seattle helps ensure that the eggs we use are as fresh as can be.<\/p>\n

Stiebrs Farms was one of Washington\u2019s first cage-free and organic egg producers. Jan and Zelma Stiebrs immigrated to the United States from Latvia with their two children, Anita and Jon in 1949. They made a home for themselves in Yelm and decided to start a farm with just a dozen chickens. By 1953, their hard work had paid off and the farm had enough hens to start selling their eggs door-to-door and later to businesses in Tacoma.<\/p>\n

In 1978 Jan and Zelma retired, passing the farm to their son Jon and his wife Dianna. Along with their children, they now employ about 70 people across 800 acres of farmland. The hens all perch in community houses and are outside all day, except when the temperature is too cold.\u00a0 The Stiebrs own a feed mill and produce all of their feed for the chickens on the farm, using a blend of corn, wheat, soybean meal and oyster shells which help to create a stronger eggshell.\u00a0 They also employ a nutritionist to make sure that each chicken\u2019s diet is complete. Jon is quick to point out that their source of eggs is self-sustaining; they raise all of their replacement hens.\u00a0 John is very proud of the quality of his eggs and we are pleased to be using them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
