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.
We hand collect and hand wash our eggs daily. Sometimes it can be a tedious chore but often it is a prime opportunity to Zen out, something we all desperately need these days. As a small scale farmer, we do everything ourselves. Washing eggs is a simple task but one that keeps us connected to our animals and our customers. 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……
