🥚 EGG UPDATE 🥚
First off, THANK YOU.
The support you all have shown for our farm and store has been incredible. Lately, we've been selling out of eggs before 2:00 PM on most days we're open, and while that's an amazing problem to have, we know it's frustrating when you make the trip and we are already sold out.
Because of that, we're growing.
Right now, we're headed northeast—straight toward some pretty rough weather on the radar—to pick up 1,000 laying hens. These girls are about 18 weeks old and should begin laying within the next 3-4 weeks.
Once they're in production, we'll be collecting close to 100 dozen eggs every single day, which should help us keep eggs in stock and meet the growing demand from our customers.
For the next few weeks, we ask for a little patience. If eggs are on your shopping list, we recommend coming earlier in the day while we work through this transition period.
As for us, we're loading up the trailer, bringing these girls home, and driving through the night. Traveling overnight allows us to keep them more comfortable and avoid hauling them during the hottest part of the day. Their comfort and well-being are our top priority.
We're excited about this next step and grateful that your support has made growth like this possible. We can't wait to get these ladies settled in and producing eggs for our community.
Now if you'll excuse us, we've got a thousand new employees to bring home. 🐔🥚
We'll see y'all at the store tomorrow after we've managed to get a little sleep!
