I wonder at what price local chicken farmers are selling eggs? I had to
have some blood drawn a couple of weeks ago. When I was checking in I
noticed a few empty egg cartons behind the counter. I'm nosy, so I
asked the guy what the egg cartons were for. He said a couple of the
employees buy fresh eggs from a woman who raises chickens. She delivers
the eggs to the office, they put them in the empty cartons to take home.
Seems like a nice arrangement for getting fresh eggs.
