What did you do in the garden today?

[WthrLady]

I just brought in this week's eggs from the barn. 7 dozen and there are still 4.5 dozen out there. My basket was full. LOL.

Just got back from trip to Costco today did pick up veggies at Fullers
Need to stock up on cranberries before the year is gone..
Still very wet here

And all my customers disappeared. And NO ONE wants to pay fresh egg prices after having 98 cent walmart eggs.
My girls never slowed down this year either, of course.

I sell my eggs for $2.00 a dozen, $3.00 for an 18 pack. Most of my customers rave about how much better tasting my eggs are than store bought ones.
One customer wants a dozen a week because it’s all her elderly mother in law will eat. She won’t eat the store bought eggs, just the farm fresh ones.
Walmart had more TP today than they did a few days ago! But they do have signs out asking you to limit yourself to 1 package.
I used my left over roast chicken and made chicken pot pie soup. It’s pretty good but not real healthy as it has a lot of butter and some heavy cream in it. But lots of veggies too.

Mine are 3.50 a dozen and I'm loosing money on that. We keep track.
We have to be state licensed to sell eggs. Even though of all the people I know I'm the only one that has a license.
They must be washed. They must be refrigerated. They must be in new labeled cartron.
I would make a profit at $6 a dozen, but outside of Whole Foods, my customers won't pay that. $8 a dozen and I'd break even at farmer's market with the cost of the space.

EH.
My darling DS helped me gut out the pantry today. We checked every box and put large print expiration labels on EVERYTHING. Color Coded by year and then numbered month.

I've been wanting to do that for years. I tossed two paper sacks of grossly expired stuff. Pathetic. But not as bad as I thought.

It was sorted by type of item before, but now it is REALLY easy to see what I'm out or low of. Bless his little heart!

Blech. I’d pay fresh egg prices over tasteless walmart eggs any day!

I guess I am going to respond with a question for you @WthrLady and all. Is anyone freezing their eggs?
I think I am going to start. I usually have plenty takers for free eggs and with this pandemic it has made me feel good to share when I can with those I think could use a boost... but
Doc told DH he needs to Quarantine for 14 and I am pretty sure that means me too? Just for safety. I am positive we will be negative on our tests but this certainly puts a spin on things.

‘Tis the season for egg nog and quiche uses up eggs. Just sayin’

I went through my pantry recently. Pretty scary in there but now I can at least find stuff. I had been looking for a can of oats and couldn’t find them for two weeks. Hubs will get his oats this weekend for breakfast.
