I have been selling my free-range eggs at the local farmer’s market. You put into writing what my customers have been saying all along — my eggs are the best-tasting eggs at the market. I didn’t have all the facts your recent article (“The Good Egg,” August/September 2005) gave — I just told my customers I have happy chickens that do what chickens do all day long and that lay me whopping big, delicious eggs in return! Since your article came out, I’ve been completely sold out of eggs! Keep up the good stuff.
