The price of eggs is the talk of the town, and has been, for months. Earlier this year, a dozen eggs could cost you up to eight dollars a carton. Today, you can find them for cheaper. However, farmers continue to deal with the leading cause of that high price tag: the avian flu.
To get a local perspective on the disease and the strain it’s putting on egg production, we reached out to a few Washington state poultry farmers.
Guests:
Jennie Watkins, owner of Ananda Hills Farm & Fibers
John Bellow, owner of SpringRain Farm & Orchard
