One Local Farm Is Giving Families a Break on Egg Prices

We all know that buying anything right now gives you maybe a slight panic attack... at least it does for me. With gas prices going up as well as everything else in the world, grocery shopping lately feels a little painful. Every time you walk into the store it seems like something else has gone up in price. Eggs, milk, snacks, even the stuff that used to be cheap isn’t cheap anymore.

However, we are not alone in this struggle together! People in Evansville are trying to help other people and that's what we love to see. One local farm is trying to help families out the best way they can by actually lowering the price of eggs this week. And if you’ve bought eggs recently, you know that’s not something you hear every day.

Eggs Are Just $3 This Week

For a limited time, cartons of eggs are being sold for just $3 at the farm stand located at 6222 Goebel Lane in Evansville.

The owner says they know families are feeling the squeeze right now and wanted to do something to help people save a little money. They also made it clear this isn’t just a casual backyard setup with a few extra eggs here and there.

This is a real working farm with more than 100 chickens that have to be fed and cared for every single day. After hearing more of the story, it makes this gesture even cooler.

Farming Isn’t Cheap Right Now Either

The owner shared that the cost of feed has gone up dramatically, and they don’t cut corners when it comes to caring for their birds. They use quality feed instead of bargain brands because they want their chickens healthy and cared for properly.

Even the cartons themselves cost money, around 89 cents each before you even factor in feed and farm expenses.

So selling eggs for $3 a carton really doesn’t leave much room for profit. In fact, the owner admits they’re not making enough at that price to maintain the higher standard of care they believe their animals deserve long term.

But for now, they still wanted to give the community a little relief where they could.

Fully Stocked All Week Long

The stand is fully stocked and open daily from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. And if the weather turns nasty, no worries. The eggs will still be protected and kept dry in a cooler.

It may seem like a small thing, but little acts like this can really help families trying to stretch every dollar right now.

And honestly, finding eggs for $3 these days feels a little like spotting buried treasure.
