On a Sunday morning in 2019, as we were preparing for breakfast, my daughter was eager to whip up her usual farm fresh eggs for the family, but saw no cartons available in the refrigerator.
The last of the eggs were whipped up in the french toast batter ready to pop into the warming pan. I figured, we have sausage, bacon, and enough protein for today!
Tapping her fingers on the empty egg carton and the words, “Mom we got a problem…” So running out of fresh eggs in our household is the ultimate mom crime. Sigh…
But I did wonder why more and more, our chicken egg supplier, a hobby farmer, our friend Jim has been having lower inventory lately. We were on the list for the next batch which is Tuesday which is a far difference in the summer where one call and we’re ready to pick 2 dozen eggs no problem!
I thought we’d be able to hold out, what’s 3 more days? But our usage of fresh eggs to eat was too much. From baking, to soups, to breakfast! We love our fresh eggs from the local farms
For our family, eggs are the staple of our country, weekend breakfast. So I thought, fine! I’ll grab some eggs somewhere next door real quick. Afterall - how hard could it be to find farm fresh eggs near me? It also hit me the irony in this equation…this little mandarin farm in placer county, seeking local chicken eggs!?
And to that point how hard was this going to be to seek a farm in placer county, the mecca of farming communities? I was thinking finding someone with fresh eggs would be a walk in the park! It wasn’t that easy, at least not at this time, with winter approaching. After 1 hour, I still had no luck locating a local farm with fresh eggs near me.
It’s funny as I think on this revelation. Just 4 months ago, we were conveniently buying eggs from the groceries. Then one day we were introduced to local fresh eggs, and now we’re hooked!
This day would mark the day that we decided to raise our own chickens and have farm fresh chicken eggs right from our farm. After having the near catastrophe of a breakfast “with no fresh eggs”, my daughter, who was 8 a the time was provoked to give me a business proposal to start her mini chicken farm where she would raise chickens with colored eggs and share this same magical experience to others seeking nutritious food from small and local farms. And I couldn’t agree more. How silly that this mandarin farm in Placer County has no chickens!

I had hard time connecting with small, local farms as they were closed over the weekend. I love this app Roobeez, as you can message local farm operators directly. Had this app been available at that time of my ordeal… gosh… I wouldn’t have my own chickens!
