For Day 2 of our Farm Photo a Day #FFFPaD campaign, we thought we would show you a rare sight on the farm -- a fridge full of eggs!
We have approximately 90 laying hens - a mix of hardy Isa Browns, Columbian Rocks and Leghorns that fairly regularly (dependent on weather, light conditions and motivation) give us a steady supply of eggs. The sight of a full fridge of eggs is fairly rare given the high demand for high quality, local eggs right now. We have way more demand than we can meet so often our customers are receiving eggs that quite literally have been laid that morning, as we cheer our girls along to meet the current orders!
The excitement of the holidays and a typical hiatus in orders while people celebrate has provided us with an opportunity to get caught up and a little ahead of the game. It won't last long... in fact, right after I took the photo we took 17 dozen out to fill today's orders!
Until tomorrow...
