Eggs: Tips, Recipes and Information
Many PYO farms keep chickens and have farm-fresh eggs to sell. Certainly, these eggs are fresher and better in every way than those from a grocery
store. Many of these farms sell the eggs year round, often via an honor box
Always call or check their website or facebook page before you go to the farm - Egg supplies can vary, chickens lay fewer in cold weather.
Bring
a container for the eggs. Some farms have them some not, but if you save and reuse egg cartoons, the farmers will appreciate it. It helps cut their
costs - and thus yours!
Bring cash - many operate honor boxes for eggs
When you get home
To keep eggs safe, take eggs straight home and store them immediately in the refrigerator set at 35 to 40 F. Leave the eggs in their carton
and place them in the back of the refrigerator, not in the door (which is the warmest part of the fridge).
