We live in a high Desert town,  there are only 50,000 people
in our large County.  very few farms, just  mostly  Desert.
But  with an ad on the bulletin board at the store we have
found ranch eggs,   first at $1.25,   then at $1.00  - they
quit soon.  now $1.50  per doz.  only once did we have two
sources at the same time.    There is a  4H club here,  and
a county fair-  it just now occurred to me that these may be
two effective ways to meet these people.  So thanks for the
inspiration!
