We go to great lengths to hatch every egg laid on our farm. As a result, we do not sell edible ostrich eggs.

DECORATIVE OSTRICH EGGSHELLS

Unique Gift

Ostrich eggshells are a perfect alternative to traditional Easter eggs and make for a unique decoration.

Perfect Canvas

Create stunning works of art using eggshells as your canvas. Ostrich eggshells are thick enough to be etched and engraved.

Laid in USA

Each eggshell was laid right here on our family farm in Idaho.

BETTER FOR YOU AND THE PLANET

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

A BETTER OPTION

Raising ostriches requires 1/3 the fresh water, 1/50th the land, and generates 1/10th the greenhouse gas emissions of cattle.

ECO-FRIENDLY FARM

Our solar-powered facilities, locally sourced feed, and systems to convert waste into chemical-free compost are just a few of the ways we conserve resources.

NET ZERO IMPACT

We utilize every possible byproduct and are continually looking for innovative ways to achieve a net-zero impact on the environment.

ALWAYS HUMANE

We go to great lengths to ensure our flock is healthy, happy, and humanely handled from hatch to harvest.

FROM FARM TO FUTURE

Far from factory farms and the culture of waste, American Ostrich Farms has set out to revolutionize the way products are crafted and consumed. We believe that every choice makes a difference and when common sense meets a common purpose, we can do what’s right for generations to come. Our flagship family-farm is in Idaho's Snake River Plain and is North America's largest producer of ostrich, a uniquely sustainable red meat.

Satisfaction guaranteed.

We understand being hesitant to spend money on something unfamiliar, but don't let fear of the unknown stop you. We stand behind our products and are very confident you'll love them. If you're disappointed in your purchase for any reason, we'll refund your order, up to $100.
