I have to wash my eggs before I use them. I buy mine from a farmer that has
free-range chickens. This means his chickens drop their eggs all over the
barn yard. So they are often covered with sticky stuff, straw, and who
knows what. Many of his customers don't like these dirty eggs, so I get
them for $2 a dozen instead of his usual $2.50 a dozen.
