GREENEVILLE FARMERS MARKET is a small NON-PROFIT that depends on outside Financial Support. Currently revenue from our  vendors only covers 60% of our cost. The remainder must come from the Community-At-Large. Giving a gift to Greeneville Farmers Market means supporting the dreams  of local farmers, food artisans, crafters and artist: Creating a  locally owned and operated working market where Producers can sell directly to their community and keep more of the profit in their own pockets.

Your gift will have a real impact on the communities we serve: Putting your donations to work in the fields, in the market and on to our tables across Greene County and East Tennessee.

FROM ALL OF US AT

GREENEVILLE FARMERS MARKET

TO YOU AND YOURS

GFM :  Chicken or Duck Eggs

VS

We are all familiar with Chicken Eggs, but not too many people know that Duck Eggs are just as good to eat. My Mom loved to bake with Duck Eggs. Why? Lets list a few facts about Duck Eggs.

1. Duck eggs have a thicker shell. And a thicker shell means duck eggs stay fresh longer than chicken eggs.
2. Odds are, you know chicken eggs: been there, done that. Duck eggs taste a little different. The taste of a duck egg is a bit creamier and a bit richer than a chicken egg. Some people with chicken egg allergies even find they are able to eat duck eggs.
3. Duck eggs are bigger than normal chicken eggs. The egg white of a duck egg contains more protein (9 grams of protein with a duck egg; 6 grams for a chicken egg), and the yolk is larger in proportion to the egg white compared to a chicken egg. The larger yolk has a higher fat content, more healthy fats and even a little more cholesterol. 
4. Omega-3’s contribute to heart health and may reduce inflammation. Some researchers believe inflammation may contribute to heart disease and cancer.
5. More Vitamin D in Duck Eggs.  Duck eggs oftentimes have more Vitamin D, particularly if they are pasture-raised. Vitamin D supports bone health and skin, as well as mood. Ducks who roam around outside (also known as pasture-raised) are far more likely to have higher levels of vitamin D from sunlight. 
6. More Essential Vitamins and Minerals.  Duck eggs may be higher in essential vitamins and minerals like thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, folate, vitamin B6, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and retinol.  Of course, the egg yolk quality and nutrition depend on what the duck eats. Ideally, ducks have access to the outside to eat plants and bugs, just like chickens, and their eggs will reflect this.
7. Duck Eggs Are a Baker’s Secret Ingredient (this is the reason my mom love to bake with duck eggs) Do you bake? Duck egg whites will give you fluffier cakes, taller meringue peaks, and lighter cookies. The secret is in the higher protein content of duck egg whites than in chicken egg whites, which makes them easier to cook with.

Have you checked out our new Vendor that sells both Duck and Chicken Eggs ?
