Utah's first organic egg farm
The Fassio Egg Farm in Erda recently became certified organic --- making it Utah's first large-scale organic egg producer.

The flock lives cage-free and is fed a vegetarian diet with no added hormones or antibiotics.

The brown eggs, which are high in heart-healthy Omega 3s, are sold under the "Rocky Mountain Eggs" brand. They are now available on a limited basis at Reams and the Fassio Egg Farms Drive Up Window, 3664 S. 5200 West, West Valley City. But look for them soon at Albertson's and Sunflower Market.
