Eggs are laid with a protective covering called a bloom or a cuticle.

While this bloom is intact the eggs are sealed up and protected from bacteria. This bloom is the reason that farm fresh eggs can be stored unwashed at room temperature. Unwashed farm fresh eggs stay freshest for longest when stored pointed end down in a carton in the refrigerator.

I however, prefer to keep mine unwashed and unrefrigerated pointed end down in a carton at room temperature. When stored this way they can stay fresh for 3 weeks or longer. When unwashed and refrigerated they can stay fresh for 3 months or more and when washed and refrigerated they stay fresh for around 2 months. Farmfresh eggs in the United States and other areas of the world that do not vaccinate their hens for Salmonella MUST be washed immediately prior to using.

Once an egg is washed it must be eaten or refrigerated. To wash an egg you need to use a little bit of elbow grease and water warmer than the egg- cold water will cause the contents of the egg to contract drawing bacteria inside. Do not use scented soaps, bleach, or other harsh or abrasive chemicals and do not allow your eggs to soak in the water.

If I gather eggs in the rain or in the cold and the bloom is disrupted by condensation or other forms of liquid I consider that egg as washed and refrigerate it. Gather your eggs daily, candle them for cracks, store them pointed end down either refrigerated or unrefrigerated, and wash immediately prior to use!
