Farmer's Market - was - free range eggs - Anne

February 17, 2008

I know that lots of folks that sell eggs that hens lay on their property, have

egg cartons that folks save for them, to use and get boxes from the grocery

stores to carry them in. I don't know how else you would have egg cartons to

use........ They may have just bought boxes from some wholesale place that had

markings already on them, but yet have just used these to sale their free range

chicken eggs in.

On freecycle the other day, someone was getting out of the free range egg

business that they ran out of their home/farm, and offered load of free egg

cartons.

>Do you or any of the ladys on the list go to Farmers Markets?

My husband and I used to go almost every Sat. morning. We thought we were

getting fresh food and supporting local farmers but we found out that many

of the venders were getting their stuff from a food terminal. In the

winter here we can't of course get fresh veggies and fruits but we thought

we were getting free range eggs. One day I noticed the fellow we bought

from getting the eggs out of a large box with the name of a chicken factory

on it. We started going to a woman who had a farm and a sign in front of

her stand saying " Free Range Eggs. " We thought she had laying hens on her

farm. We bought from her for a couple of years until I saw her getting eggs

out of the same box from the chicken facory.

You can buy cartons from dealers, my mother has free range chickens and she buys

her cartons form a company that sells supplies.
