OUR VISION
At Morning Fresh Farms, we have a philosophy that if you work hard, possess integrity and take responsibility for your actions, you will be successful in all of your life endeavors.

We have set forth a dozen standards that will guide us, as officers and employees, in optimizing our individual character, uniting us as a team and establishing Morning Fresh Farms as the company with which our customers, employees, suppliers and community desire to be associated.

Egg Production and Processing

Our first responsibility as an egg producer is ensuring the health and well being of our hens. In order to produce quality eggs, our hens must be healthy and safe. Morning Fresh Farms operates a multiple age, 100% inline egg farm. "100% inline" means we have a fully automated egg gathering and processing program.

Our layer systems consist of both conventional and cage free production. Our most recent addition to the farm is a cage free facility. These barns contain a very progressive free-roaming system that is the first of its kind in North America. Through both conventional and cage-free housing we are able to offer alternatives to the special needs of our customers.

All of our conventional eggs are produced in compliance with the United Egg Producers Animal Husbandry Guidelines.  For more information on this program, visit www.uepcertified.com.

A majority of our flocks are various strains of white leghorns. Several of these flocks are dedicated to producing Eggland's Best eggs. Fed a patented all natural, 100 % vegetarian diet, these birds produce an egg with award-winning taste that is nutritionally superior to ordinary eggs. Our brown birds located in our "cage free" houses are also part of this nutritionally enhanced feed program (Please visit "About Our Eggs" for more information).

At Morning Fresh Farms we raise all of our own pullets. These chicks are one day old when delivered which offers us the opportunity to insure the long-term health and welfare of our hens from day one.

Every day of the year we collect all freshly laid eggs, then wash, candle, grade, package and refrigerate them. Within just a few days, these eggs will be on a truck destined for your favorite store or restaurant.

Environment Management System

We utilize a computerized environment management system to monitor and control almost all aspects of our hen houses. This system controls the fans and temperature, the lighting, turns feeders on and off and monitors the amount of water consumed. This system also interfaces with our egg processing equipment, counts the eggs as they come out of the layer houses and controls the flow of eggs into the processing plant. This procedure enhances the quality of life for our hens and improves egg quality.

Feed and Feed Mill

Since Feed quality is vital to the production of the best eggs, our farm has invested in a computerized feed mill that is dedicated to the production of feed for our hens. Because corn is the largest and most important ingredient in layer feed, we typically buy a large quantity of Colorado grown corn from local farmers at harvest time. In addition to ground corn, the other major ingredients in layer feed are soybean meal and limestone, as well as vitamins and minerals. Hormones and stimulants are never used in our feed programs, in fact, they are not used by any commercial egg farms in the United States. Hens that produce Eggland's Best eggs are fed a patented diet that also contains canola oil, alfalfa meal, kelp and Vitamin E. (Please visit eggland.com for more information)

Quality Control and Food Safety

In addition to our own quality control personnel, we utilize the services of a "Resident" USDA Grader. USDA grading is optional for egg producers and we must pay for all costs of the service. The inspector examines eggs for proper grading, quality and size while checking for leaking and dirty eggs.

Our primary focus is on quality and food safety. We are totally committed to producing the finest, safest eggs that we possibly can. Our sanitation and disease prevention programs are the strictest in the industry. (Please visit Quality Assurance for more information)

Environmental Programs

Morning Fresh Farms believes in sustainable agriculture and is considered one of the most environmentally conscious egg farms in America. We understand agriculture's responsibility to the environment and value the land on which we farm and that which borders our fields. One of the most unusual aspects of this farm is the manner in which we utilize our poultry waste. We remove all the waste twice a week from our barns and immediately dehydrate or compost it. Our subsidiary, Organix Supply Company, uses dried poultry waste (DPW) as the primary ingredient in their extensive line of lawn and garden fertilizers and combines composted manure with wood shavings from our pallet reclamation center to make soil amendments. You can find their products under the Richlawn and EKO brands throughout the Rocky Mountain Region. (Please visit richlawn.com for more information).
