I spend a lot of time with eggs; thinking about eggs, washing them, counting them (obsessively!), packaging them, and oh yeah the best part- eating eggs! Today we collected what may be a Jade Farm record: 187 eggs! That’s about 15.5 dozen.

I always get a little excited thinking about someone cracking open an egg and discovering a double yolker. It is such a fun surprise and never fails to delight.
Off to wash almost 200 eggs. Ohm……
