Does anyone remember Thompson's Farm on Gould Road? They sold their eggs in a freestanding kiosk and they relied on the honor system. It was just over the town line near the NR Little League Field. Their stand was there from the late 1950's to about 1970 maybe? They lived in the 1796 Joel Jenkins house, later Goulds.
Your research and writing are top notch, Marilyn! So much information "packaged" into this egg- history article. Thank you so much for adding to our knowledge of the NOT mundane egg!
I had no idea that Christopher C. brought the first chickens here. The whole article had fascinating ideas in almost every sentence. Love "History Buzz."
I like the first photo. Andover eggs 35 cents/dozen, Fresh eggs 26 cents/dozen, and Good eggs 23 cents/dozen. Just how old are those "good" eggs if they're not fresh?
Hi Marilyn! This was a fun and informative article! It is especially timely as more of my suburban friends have take up raising chickens in their backyards. Love to the family! Steve Longo

Hi Steve, glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to do part two of my chicken and egg articles. Hope all is well with you.
