I hope this helps!

ABOUT Homesteading with PJ!
Hi! I’m PJ, and my family loves the homesteading life! It’s something my wife and I have always wanted to do, but we grew up with ZERO HOMESTEADING EXPERIENCE!!!!! We grew up in beautiful southern California, 15 minutes away from the beach. As amazing as that was, we both dreamed of a life closer to land and animals. After getting married and moving to Utah, our family slowly grew. We had become a family of four living in a townhome with a small backyard filled with potted plants.
In 2019 we dipped our feet into homesteading on 1 ¼ acre lot in Utah. In 18 months we were ready to do this for real. So in 2021 we packed everything up and moved to North Carolina to 12 acres and we love every inch of our homestead!
We raise sheep and have big plans for:
• grass-fed lamb
• meat chickens
• laying chickens
• heritage breed pork
• honey
• vegetable garden
• perennial food forest
• and more
I hope you join us on our journey, subscribe and ring the bell if you haven’t yet.

I don’t care about the taste as much as I care about the chickens having a good life.
Good point, and honestly that's more what I care about too. But it's nice that we can have both 😄
Great explanation! We bought a couple dozen of the best eggs driving through a small town in Iowa last year. They had those amber yolks, and the shells were pretty pastel colors. I would definitely buy those again if I could!
Yay! Local eggs for the win!
This is really great information. Nice to have the visual comparison as well.
This video was super helpful PJ! Thank you so much! 🙏🙌🏼😃
Glad to hear it! Thanks!
You bet! 🙌🏼☺️ I always enjoy your videos. 😊 Take care and God bless.
I was surprised when I saw you plugging Vital Farms because I can get those at my local Walmart 😊
PJ, just found you (from your honest carnivore conversation - bravo!) and love this video, too. Love buying eggs from a local farmer - sooo yum! Can’t stand it when I’m traveling and have to eat grocery store eggs. 🤢
Thanks for reaching out and watching the last two videos! Glad to have you along.
And yes, nearly all eggs in a supermarket are inedible for me for the rest of my life. Same with literally ANY egg you order at a restaurant.
The T-rex is the closest relative to the chicken? Can you imagine having grilled T-rex legs? Awesome!
Very helpful, thanks!
Great video, thanks Foreal.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😊
Canada has different labels and different definitions and different availabilities. For instance, organic in Canada is a joke. It just means you don't use specific products (that have likely been much more thoroughly tested than other products that do the same thing but haven't undergone nearly as much testing to know exactly what it does). Free range is generally the best I can find in Canada but there are different labels of free range. I like the BCSPCA one because I know exactly what that means but they aren't always available.
Whenever possible, I like to buy directly from the farm though because then I can see the chickens for myself and what their conditions are like. I can talk to the farmer and have a good idea of their practices as well as build a relationship with them. Some day, I'd like to have my own chickens but I want to finish school and have this baby first haha maybe after that we will add some chickens to the mix.
Thanks for the video! Very interesting seeing the differences between Canada and the US!
Yes, I always like learning the different perspectives between Canadian and US labels. Like you said, usually buying from the farmer is best!
Love Vital Farms eggs!
Your local farm store should sell chickens and they're way tastier and healthier from your backyard because you know what they are eating! Less grains more free-range/extra fruits/veggies you already buy
True. Backyard eggs, from chickens eating tons of "scraps" taste better than anything from the store. I'm broken from most store-bought eggs!
I should pay more attention to my eggs. Its not that much more money and probably a way better product.
You'll notice a difference. Better eggs just taste, well... BETTER!
I've never heard of an egg snob before, but I have now haha. I mean no disrespect really.
I'll proudly take that label!
My Chickens were egg*static when they would find a small frog hunkered down for winter under my decaying wood chip pile. The finder would celebrate and had to run away from all the other chickens in order to eat the small frog. Definitely NOT vegetarians. ❤🐔🌻🦖
Yes! Most people think of chickens eating worms and bugs, but they'll eat whatever they can get their beaks on. I've seen my flock destroy a juvenile snake before!
hello pj i do not have sheep or a homestead yet my sister and i are looking for the spot to start. we were wondering if you harvest your sheep before you send them to processing or do you send them live. if live would you get a better return if they were harvested and cleaned thanks my sister and i are trying to think of all angles.
Not sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you're asking if I shear the sheep? I raise hair sheep, so their fiber is not wool quality. I take my live animals for processing, with full coats. Hope that answers your question. Best of luck!
Vital farms sources eggs with their own spec. Relabels them and sells them for a fortune. Its better to go straight to the farm and get rid of the corporate middle man that doesn't actually add any value.
Going that direct is always great. But even worse than using a middle man, is selling terrible eggs at a farmer's market for a huge mark-up! I've seen plenty of "egg farmers" who I sell eggs with pale, flat yolks for $8+ a dozen.
Vital Farms has helped mid-size producers not have to worry about marketing or distribution. They get to focus on just making a great product, which they do. I'd argue that the mark-up is not as high as you think.
Of course, local (and quality) is always better. But if you don't have quality , local eggs, Vital Farms is a good second place choice.
