While consumers are presented with a plethora of egg options, one Mississippi farm offers guidance through on-farm and at-market education.
Eggs have been consumed by humankind since the dawn of man. A nutritional powerhouse with exceptional culinary versatility, eggs might just be a perfect food. And if statistics are any indication, Americans love them, consuming an average of 286 eggs per person in 2021.
“Back then, agritourism wasn’t something people talked about,” notes Robert. “Farms had roadside stands, pumpkin patches or choose-and-cut Christmas trees, but that’s about it.” Today, Cedar Hill Farm provides guests a variety of opportunities for outdoor fun throughout the seasons, with public events that include Easter egg hunts and summer berry picking. The pumpkin patch, corn maze and Christmas tree field attract an average of 55,000 visitors from autumn through the holiday season each year.
“There aren’t enough backyard coops and small farmers to meet the demand for eggs,” Robert explains. “I’m not knocking the larger egg production industry, but personally I think if people saw the conditions their supermarket eggs came from, people would turn to eggs from local farms.”Consumers concerned with healthy, sustainable and humane farming practices often choose to purchase eggs labeled “cage-free,” “free-range” and even “hormone-free.
