Recently my Jeremy and I went to visit some friends in Plymouth, MA (home of Plymouth Rock) and see their new home (it’s lovely in case you’re wondering). They’re situated on about 2 acres of land and have a good size garden and a chicken coop complete with five chickens all in the prime egg laying time of their lives- about 2 1/2 years old.
We had them for breakfast this morning and I’ll be darned if she wasn’t right. These eggs are much better than the store-bought variety. They had deep golden orange yolks that were not only pretty but extremely flavorful as well. What a wonderful way to start this Easter weekend.
To locate a local farm in your area and purchase your own farm fresh eggs use this handy website: http://www.localharvest.org/– they have a national database to help you find organic farms, family run farms, CSAs and farmer’s markets right in your own neighborhood.
Happy Easter everyone! Thanks Hannah!
