That pasture-forward lifestyle is what gives you the deeper yolk color and the “wow” factor in the pan—while still delivering dependable performance for cooking and baking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Farm: Lake Meadow Naturals (Ocoee, FL)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLake Meadow Naturals is led by farmer Dale Volkert, who grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm and received his first flock of chickens as a 4-H project on May 20, 1960. After moving to Central Florida in 2000, he found the Lake Meadow property and started raising cage- and hormone-free eggs. The farm’s growth accelerated when Chef Kathleen Blake (then at Primo at the JW Marriott; now Chef\/Owner of The Rusty Spoon) connected with Dale to put local eggs on the menu—helping spark demand from more restaurants and chefs across Florida. Today, Lake Meadow Naturals spans 100+ acres and continues its farm-to-table mission with a focus on humane, clean practices. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flakemeadownaturals%2Fvideos%2F2414606932163118%2F\u0026amp;show_text=0\u0026amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere Chefs Use Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLake Meadow Naturals publicly lists restaurant and hotel buyers.
