Eggs have been a hit for the Dismas Family Farm. We are often sold out of them before the chickens even lay them and when we have enough to bring to farmer's markets, they sell out there too! The young rhode island reds have mostly been laying pullet eggs (which is regular egg just a little smaller, they are the eggs that come out of the chickens when they first start laying), but in this picture John is washing some of the first regular size eggs of the rhode island reds. It is a good sign that there are many more eggs to come! There's nothing like a farm fresh egg in the morning.
The newest thing in the farm house is the opening of the Dismas Family Farm Store! The farm store, which was set up by co-executive director Dave, sells all of our products to anyone who happens to stop by the house. We have birdhouses, bathouses, french vanilla and lavender candles, popcorn, vanilla-pomegranate and lavender soap and jam. Our newest products soap and jam are very popular at our farmer's markets right now. If you're in the area, or maybe just feel like taking a drive, come on down to the farm to check it out. We'll even throw in a free tour of the barn and garden, you can't beat that deal!
