Our Story
The Ramsdell family, owners and operators of Dakota Layers, has been committed to egg quality and ethical hen treatment since 1999.
Learn More »Dakota Layers is a family-owned and operated egg farm located in Flandreau, South Dakota. Since starting our business in 1999, we’ve remained dedicated to the ethical treatment of our hens and the quality of our product.
Dakota Layers focuses on freshness because we want to give our community the highest-quality eggs around. We maintain our standards of quality by giving our hens the best care because we know that happy hens lay healthy eggs.
To ensure freshness, we never store or overstock our products. Our inline egg system means that no human touches our eggs until they are in a carton or box. Locally, our eggs go from chicken to shelf within 36 hours, making them some of the freshest in the market.
