A good egg
Yikes! With all the bad eggs in the news recently, we thought it would be good to remind you about a couple of options.
The first option is to get to know a farmer who has chickens for their eggs. Go to your local farmer’s market, and find someone (or more than one) selling eggs. Talk to them. Ask about their chickens – how they’re raised, what they’re fed, how often they go outside. Ask to visit the farm – this might be impractical for you, but chances are good that a farmer who is proud of her farm will be happy to show it off to you – plus it’s a great field trip for your family, if you’re city-dwellers. You’ll not only gain confidence in your very own food supplier, you’ll have a new friend.
If you want to avoid eggs altogether, check out this post on vegan substitutes for eggs.
Even if you continue to eat eggs from your new farmer friend, you may want to reduce the number of eggs you eat. Learn and use some subs, even if you still eat some eggs.
