Re: SF eggs?

[Guest guest]

Have you contacted your local WAPF chapter? Maybe they know of a source.

In the worst case, I wonder if we could set up an Amtrak bus/train

communication from Roseville to SF to get you these eggs. Just an idea to

keep in mind. Not sure if it's doable. And if I find another source, I won't

be going to the farmer I mentioned. But in that case, I'll have an equal or

better source. He told me that he won't more of these free roaming chickens

once these stop laying eggs. Maybe if he has a consistent demand, he'll

change his mind?
