[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1618028, member: 24816"] My wife and I were a part of our local farmers market for a couple years we sold vegetables and eggs. It was an interesting experience but we enjoyed getting to talk with people and share some details of farm life. A lot of folks have no idea of how crops are grown or animals are cared for. We put pictures of some of our cows/calves and chickens as well as of us working in the garden. We tried to answer all questions honestly and most folks were receptive to hear truth. One recurring trend of thought was that white eggs are somehow altered ie bleached or chemicals fed. Some had no idea that the breed of chicken is the reason for the color of the shell. We had White Leghorns at the time so the questions came up a lot. The second year we used Barred Rocks and Black Australorps for brown eggs. [/QUOTE]
