How to know if your eggs are fresh.

If you got them from us today, then your eggs are fresh. But you can test them for yourself.

This trick works because the egg's shell is not completely air tight, while the inside of the chicken, duck, or goose, is considerably more so.

When an egg comes out, it begins sucking up air. This is why fresh eggs sink to the bottom of a bowl of water while older eggs become increasingly buoyant the longer they are exposed to air.

If your egg floats, it has spent a long time sucking.
