I went to Safeway the other day and noticed the price of eggs, up to $7+ for a dozen.
There were so many options; white, brown, cage free, vegetarian, free range, organic, fresh, and even Cadbury Creme! (that made me laugh!)
Without spending a lot of time talking about food shortages or supply chain issues, let's just all agree that the world as we know it has changed and we need to move forward in a positive way.
We all know that complaining about something doesn't change the problem at hand or make the situation any less catastrophic.
The burning question becomes, what do we do about it as a community?
We vote!
Our dollar is our vote. Don't like the price of something? Don't buy it! And do yourself a favor, don't go looking for the cheaper, knock-off, foreign equivalent, it kills the local market!
I'm not trying to be political, well, maybe a little. Bottom line.... if something is important to you, support it. Your vote does matter. Your dollar counts.
We are very proud to offer local milk from Rising Sun Dairy here in Turner Or. Supporting this family means that they can continue to make an exceptional product and thrive as a member of our community. This means you, as a customer, get a fresh product straight from the farm, and the farmer gets direct compensation from you. Quick and easy; everyone wins.
We also have the honor of supporting 3 families who graciously supply us with farm fresh, local eggs. Abby's Eggs, is owned and operated by Abby, she is 7 years old. (her parents help a little) Abby is working hard to learn the value of the dollar and has been supplying our community with eggs for over 4 years. Lacy and Travis moved here recently from Kaiser. They have joined our community on a small farm outside Turner in Marion, called Wild P. Pastures. If you know them, then you know how special and passionate they are about farming.
Our newest addition is not really new to us, we've known Baily since the day she was born and are so proud to offer her eggs here in our store. What a blessing to our community!
If you haven't noticed, we are very proud to support local families. Bringing the community together helps everyone achieve their goals. We are stronger and better together!
See you at the Corner!
