Eggs for sale

We started with chickens last year, and it's been a success - perhaps too much of a success.  We have more eggs than we know what to do with.  We've given a lot away, but it would be nice to sell at least some of them to cover some of the feed costs. 

The chickens are beautiful Golden Comets - fairly quiet; good for our mixed-use semi-wild West End neighborhood.  They're a little scrawny for meat, but they sure lay a lot of eggs, even all winter long.  Here's a picture of them in the garden last summer.  Now we let them range all over the yard a few times a day.  (More pictures to come.)

I used to just eat one egg sandwich a week, but I've been working on increasing my egg consumption, and it's been very good!  Now the burritos often include some scrambled eggs.  I tucked some hard-boiled egg into the pita with felafel and tabouli today.  For last Sunday brunch, tried Scandinavian-style and had sardines and hard-boiled egg on sour corn rye toast; couldn't help adding some of that Capricho with black pepper goat cheese that they sell at the GreenStar.  I would love to barter with the cheesemakers for some eggs!

Meanwhile I'll barter with anyone through the genius of Ithaca Hours.  We just need a few regular customers.  Bonuses from the garden available during the harvest season!  You can contact me at gardensfirst at gmail.com if you're interested in some eggs.
