Illinois Certified


We are now certified to sell eggs in the state of Illinois! We are so excited. This means we will now be selling eggs at the Trinity Farmers Market in Moline this year! One of the requirements to sell eggs in Illinois is to candle them. This is to make sure they are perfect no cracks Etc. I feel so nostalgic using this old antique egg candler. It was Brad's Grandma's when she was younger. She used to have her own egg business in Cedar County Iowa. With around 300 hens. It's seen it's better days and is a tad rusty but it works great, They truly don't make things like they used to! This old candler works 10 times better than the new hobby farm modernized types that you can buy! Glad we can carry on the tradition

  2. Hi! You go to Playlist.com and creat a free account. Create a playlist grab the Html code and paste it under one of your Gadget buttons. I posted mine at the bottom of my blog as you can see. Hope this helps! If not I just googled how to add a playlist to blogspot.
