Yatsugatake Hayashi Farm is a small-scale poultry farm located in Fujimi Town, Nagano Prefecture, at the foot of Mt. Yatsugatake, at an altitude of 1000m. The color of the egg yolk varies slightly depending on the season, as the amount of home-grown corn, sweet potatoes, etc., given to the chickens differs. However, the color is a pale yellow. We raise our chickens with a focus on animal welfare, keeping the density to two birds or less per square meter, allowing them to roam freely and lay eggs in a free-range environment. We ship freshly laid eggs in paper cartons of 6 eggs on the same day or the next day after collection. Regarding the expiration date, if you plan to eat the eggs raw, we set the expiration date to two weeks from the date of collection, which is indicated on the carton. We are registered with the health center. We pack the eggs in paper cartons with bubble wrap on the top and bottom, and then wrap the entire carton with bubble wrap. We take the utmost care in checking for cracks in the eggs beforehand, as well as in the wrapping and packing process. However, there is a possibility that the eggs may crack or break due to accidents during shipping. We ask for your understanding that the product is fragile. If you find that the eggs have cracked or broken during shipping, please take photos of the broken eggs and the outer box in their original condition, and contact the Mercari office before giving a "received evaluation." If the outer box is damaged, it may be covered by the shipping company's compensation. However, in other cases, compensation is often not available, and we do not offer a breakage guarantee from the seller. This has happened in about 1 out of the last 100 orders, so we ask for your understanding.
