We officially closed on our house in February. Not long after, in late April, I saw it in the neighbors yard. The bright yellow sign with green letters proudly proclaimed "Fresh Eggs - $2.00". I suppose you could call that first $2.00 purchase the tipping point of action. I had always heard in my research how much better local food was. It was nutrient rich, better for the environment, and tasted better. Reading it and experiencing it always tends to be two different things, however.
Well let me tell you, they were the best eggs I ever tasted.
The yolks were such a deep golden color I could hardly believe it. Local made a difference. These were chickens I could peek out my lIving room window and watch forage. Occasionally, we would find one on our side porch.
If something so small as a dozen eggs could be so greatly improved by purchasing local...what other products could I find close to home?
