Our farming model is not easily repeated and we do it only because we feel we improve our world and our neighborhood by doing what we do. forget about a trip to a cottage on the weekend etc. It costs time, cleaning out the barns is not fun, coyotes, hawks, foxes, eat your chickens, you have to be there every day. We have seen many people start up doing what we do, but after they did it for a number of seasons, they give up. Doing it small scale, like we do is work without profit (Can't hire a sales person at $14 per hour to sell $50 of eggs in 12 hours). I'm sure you have checked it out on the internet. There is huge bureaucracy in mass production and the freshness of the eggs, the environment and the chickens suffer. The large guys then sell in the grocery stores with eggs that were graded and licensed by the egg marketing board. Getting more chickens and starting a large scale egg production defeats what we are doing. Some people, especially those who come from far, then want to buy 10 dozen eggs. Because of Google we seem to be visible to everyone in Toronto, I have even people coming to us from Mississauga and downtown. Our number of eggs is limited to less than 100 per day - that's 8 dozen or so. We are a small farm who started just selling to our immediate neighbors. We are a working farm without a receptionist.
