Eggville

I've mentioned localharvest.org several times now and it has always served me well. It allows the user to enter their zip code and search for farms and fresh vegetables near their home. I like to check back from time to time to see if anything new is in the area and was rewarded with Eggville.

In the spirit of growing my own vegetables, Eggville is a nice, local source of fresh eggs. The cost was about the same as eggs from the supermarket. The hens are kept in a nice, big run with plenty of room to run around. When we approached the coop, the hens excitedly came to the fence I suspect in the hope that someone was coming to feed them. The stared and us and made a quiet "bawk bawk bawk" noise. It's nice to know these sort of things are around if you look for them a little bit and everyone should try to find their own, nearby Eggville.
