Exceptional Eggs

Kowalski's is proud to offer a higher standard of eggs, laid by hens with plenty of space to roam and graze!

Kowalski's Certified USDA Organic Eggs

Kowalski's organic, free-range eggs come to us from Larry Schultz Organic Farm in Owatonna, Minnesota. Schultz chickens are free to eat and exercise anywhere within an airy, sunlit barn or to roam comfortably outdoors in grassy, fence-free fields carefully monitored and protected from predators. This stress-free environment allows hens to develop into healthy, happy birds that lay delicious, nutritious eggs high in omega-3 fatty acids (thanks to the organic flax meal added to their organic feed).

Small-scale organic family farming is a way of life for Larry. The fourth-generation Schultz farm has never been farmed conventionally with herbicides, insecticides or artificial fertilizers. Not willing to compromise this approach and its many benefits, Larry models and teaches his farming practices to other small organic farmers. As demand for organic eggs rises and his farm continues to grow, Larry’s neighbors and friends are raising organic crops to feed the birds.

Look for our Grade A large dozens and 18 ct. packages, along with Grade A extra-large dozens, in the Dairy Aisle.

Kowalski's Certified Humane Pasture-Raised Organic Eggs

Our Pasture-Raised Eggs are locally laid, Certified Humane and USDA Organic certified! They come from hens raised on two Wisconsin family farms that practice regenerative agriculture. These hens spend their days in open pasture eating grasses, insects and worms. Organic feed and fresh water are provided in their barns.

Good Question:
What's the difference between Grade A and Grade AA eggs?

USDA egg grading is a voluntary service paid for by egg producers. Grades are based on an egg's interior and exterior qualities and have nothing to do with its size, nutritional value or food safety. Grade A eggs have a slightly larger air pocket, and their whites are not quite as thick as those of Grade AA eggs. A nearly perfect egg, Grade AA eggs have a flawless shell shape and texture. They make the most beautiful poached and fried eggs.

Good Question: What's the difference between fried eggs and eggs over easy?

Fried refers to the method used to cook the eggs. Over easy means the eggs are flipped "over" during cooking and served with runny "easy" yolks. Over medium and over hard are terms used to describe partially or fully set yolks, respectively. Sunny-side-up eggs are not flipped during frying and almost always have runny yolks (a cook may add hot water to create steam and/or cover the pan with a lid to cook the top of the egg white more thoroughly). Basted eggs are a style of fried egg in which hot oil, butter or bacon drippings are spooned over the whites (and possibly the yolks as well) while cooking. They are not usually flipped.
