In the Store
Eggstra, eggstra, read all about it: Many of our local hens are fresh out of eggs!
In fact, this is a seasonal, temperature-related occurrence on lots of farms. While they’re trying to lay more to keep up with demand, ET's is busy scouring the countryside to fill our shelves. More eggs are on the way. Thank you for your patience.
And for more on the egg front:

Eat Local
You may know by now that we've gone local at Ellwood's. In fact, we changed our name recently from Ellwood Thompson's Natural Market to Ellwood Thompson's Local Market. Why?
We're still committed to bringing you the best natural and organic products, but we're also dedicated to offering the best local fare, too. We think it's important to know the source of our food. As large corporate food producers seek competitively priced ingredients, often times sourced globally, we all need to know our food is safe. (Learn more about the globalization of food.)
And local food is fresher so it tastes better and maintains more nutrients. It's not trucked or flown in from other parts of the country, so resources are conserved in the process.
Consider local food super health food, not only for your health, but for the health of local farms, our local economy and our environment.

What exactly is local?
Location, Location, Location
At Ellwoods, we define local as 100 miles or less from our store. That's less than two hours drive from the store, depending on how windy that first road is from the farm. We'd like to introduce you to some of our farmers. They are wonderful folks who live very close to your home. Meet the farmers. »
