If you eat local food you know by now how much tastier fresh food right from the farm is compared to supermarket fare. Of all the great local food we've eaten over the last few years eggs are a standout. Just this morning we had a simple scrambled egg and bacon breakfast: eggs from Rise and Shine, bacon from the Mill family in Fallon, and toast with jam made with peaches from a friend's tree. Everything was awesome but I remember thinking...these eggs are so tasty they don't even need to be smothered in salsa or cheese to taste great - unless you really like cheese and salsa on your eggs.
It's easy to get local eggs in Northern Nevada, and right now the River School is another option. It's cold outside but the River School hens are still laying eggs. Email or call (747-3910) the River School folks first or pop by to pick up some eggs and see how the phoenix project is coming along. (If you haven't heard already, a fire late in 2009 took out a few farm buildings so the River School folks have been busy fund raising and rebuilding.)
