past the crawfish ponds, where the pink birds fly...

today...

we made another delivery to fresh pickins- 10 1/2 dozens, which is our biggest delivery yet! on top of that, while we were there dropping them off, a man got all excited about our farm fresh duck eggs and bought a carton right off the counter, before they were tagged (which in it self feels great to see a price tag on them).  plus, the cashier said flo's egg (remember the gray one) was pretty.  i thanked her and gave flo all the credit.  this was all so exciting! it's the simple things in life.
reflecting on everything now and reliving that excitement from this morning, i understand why i get so excited.  for us to get a fresher egg , we would have to move our girls to the kitchen.  which is not going to happen. but for other people who don't have ducks, you can't beat this freshness.  the eggs went from the girls nesting boxes this morning, still warm, then traveling 27 miles and is at the market within two hours. and today essentially in that man's fridge in 3 hours, i'm rounding up.  that is exciting!   for us to be able to share that with other people is really awesome!  and i wanted to share that with you.  so thank you. 

til next time,
farmer mom
