This holiday season I decided to stop selling my eggs at my farm gate stand today and give them away through out the day to people I see regularly.
I put a lot of effort into this flock. I raised them free range organic on non GMO feed. I don’t even advertise that on my stand but for me I like to try and eliminate as much possible risk to my farm food. I know my customers see my efforts and that’s why they come back
I started this farm for me. For the animals. To do something different and simple to feed my family and community. Raising animals as they should be. Small. Loved. Well fed.
And although eggs may feel like such an odd gift haha! It does feel strange to give. It comes from the heart!

Ha! I do the same thing, but with jam. I give it instead of wine, when going out. Same as you, I source my fruit carefully, and can scientifically
This is a great idea. Just curious, when you give them away do you wash them off and tell people they need to be refrigerated, or do you leave them as-is in all their poop-smeared glory?
I gave away a dozen poopy eggs yesterday, I’m still not sure if the recipient was thrilled or grossed out
