Fresh From the Farm: Eggs

Last year, I moved from the city to the suburbs. While attending the Open House, we noticed that the neighbors next door had a chicken coop and several hens. Chickens? In this old suburb? Unexpected, but OK.

I have come to love the hens -- they are hilarious and cluck loudly whenever they lay an egg. Although I've yet to enjoy fresh eggs from the neighbors, I recently tried out the next best thing in my 'burb: Owen's Poultry Farm.

I picked up a dozen fresh eggs from Owen's store (bargain! they're cheaper than the eggs from the grocery store) and excitedly brought them home. This morning, I poached the eggs and served on an English muffin with sliced avocado. It was a beautiful thing!
