EGG vs EGG.
One of the worst parts about being in Nashville this winter is being away from our chickens. Not only do we love them dearly, but let's be honest....we really love their eggs! They are a vital source of protein for us, and we were spoiled on having 15 ladies laying for us every day. Here in the city, a few eggs a day really begins to add up when you are buying them at the store! Is this the place for an "EGGSPENSIVE" pun???After Jesse's last trip to the cabin site, he brought back a truly great gift - eggs from the farm! As an experiment, we cracked one of the Bugtussle eggs next to one of the eggs we bought from the store. You can probably guess which is which.The amazing thing is, that is not a cheap egg. The store-bought egg is an organic, cage-free, yadda yadda whatever egg.....but I mean, LOOK AT IT. The Bugtussle egg is bright orange, the yolk is perfectly entact...it looks healthier. It just goes to show that "organic" has become a strange word, and one that requires some context. Bugtussle is not a certified organic farm....but which egg would you rather eat? Which chicken do you think spends it's days roaming free, pecking through cow manure and eating bugs and mice, free from any sort of confinement or stress?- Hannah.
