Farming with the Seasons,
Not Against Them
Eat Local eggs come from Amish family farms in Michigan that believe responsible farming means adapting to nature—not forcing it. The Schwartz family of Sunrise Poultry in Rives Junction and the Miller family of Double L Farm in Marion raise hens with care, transparency, and respect for seasonal change.
By adjusting housing, feed, and land use throughout the year, these farms prioritize hen welfare, environmental responsibility, and honest labeling—producing eggs customers can trust.
