yay for eggs!

I found a local source for my eggs on Craigslist, she sells for $3 a dozen, which is incredibly reasonable considering I have paid $4+ for certified humane or organic eggs. I am excited!

I'm pretty irritated that my egg contact seems to have fallen apart after the holidays! I was getting eggs at $2/dozen through my sister from a local woman, but my sister hasn't heard from her since before Christmas.

DH and I picked up some eggs from a family for the first time this weekend.  It felt so good to get eggs from a place where we could see the little chickens wandering around outside in the fresh air!

Awesome!

We get ours right down the road; it's actually quicker to go pick them up from the farm than to run to the grocery store Win-win!

This EXACTLY. My farmer actually took me over and introduced me to the chickens

We get ours for $3 a dozen here too. Nice man at the farmer's market says his chickens run around the field cleaning up the cow poo.

we raise our own chickens...

...this time of year, because the days get short, many many chickens reduce or completely stop laying...

our four hens, who ordinarily produce about a dozen a week, were down to 1 or 2 a week for the longest time... they're just starting to come back.

 

If you're looking for a good source for eggs, call your local feed store. They sell eggs at ours (organic, free range) for a fair price... but the man there told me that even the seller's production was way off this winter...
