“My favorite part is meeting the customers, waiting on the customers and just making new friends along the way," Ayres said.

We agree!

Apple farmers remain profitable by repurposing to***co farms, moving to high-density farming methods and expanding into agritourism spaces.

The best way for a consumer to ensure egg quality is to understand the production practices of the egg producer. The best way to do that is to purchase from a local producer. As explained below, egg yolk color is easily manipulated and therefore not necessarily an indicator of the quality of an egg.

🚫 Yolk Color ≠ Flock Health 🥚

These kinds of “yolk color comparison” charts are exactly the kind of thing you should take with a grain of salt.

Yolk color is incredibly easy to manipulate through diet — whether it’s from free-ranging and foraging naturally or from adding supplements like marigold, red pepper flakes, or other carotenoid-rich ingredients to their feed.

A hen kept in a cage and fed heavy amounts of crushed red pepper can lay a deep orange yolk that looks just as “farm fresh” as an egg from a pampered free-range hen.

In other words, yolk color alone doesn’t tell the whole story about how a chicken was raised or how healthy it is. It’s just one data point — and not a reliable one by itself.
