MORFORD EGGS AND THINGS

Moreford's have a lovely assortment of plants to satisfy every gardener. They also have fresh country eggs, which happen to be a passion of mine. The kind that are layed by chickens who scratch around for food. The kind that stand up all filled with pride, showing off a round orange face when you break it into the skillet. None of those pale yellow eggs that run all over the pan. Not in our house, if we can avoid it.

And, when you drive up to Morford's to make a purchase of eggs, you can hear the roosters in the background which lends credibility to their product. They are very noisy roosters. I'm not sure where the hens are, but they must have the roosters around for a reason.

I should have asked what kind of chickens they have, not that I'd remember. They’re the variety that gives you colored Easter eggs without all the work…shades of pale green and blue all the way through the shell. The kind my friend in England doesn't believe exists.

Morford’s is located just a little west of Kanopolis on the low road. Turn where the sign says to turn and you’ll soon be there. They have a huge and impressive operation of plants and flowers and will have a variety of produce to sell when the time is ripe.

Leave me some eggs, please.

P.S. Here is a comment from my Geordie friend in England who doesn't believe eggs come in pastel hues of green and blue:

"Just read your blog,no way does a hen lay coloured eggs apart from white and brown,for me to believe the eggs are the colour you described somehow your gonna have to get a photo of em and send it to me."
