A farmers' market stand displays fresh eggs stacked in cardboard cartons on a table covered with a blue and white tablecloth featuring small duck illustrations. A large chalkboard sign reads "Feathers & Fruit" and describes the farm as having "20 acres with over 200 chickens & an orchard." Another smaller chalkboard sign advertises "unwashed, unrefrigerated, much-loved eggs" for sale by the half-dozen. The eggs are arranged neatly in trays, and a wire rack helps hold some stacks upright.
