Beacon Farmers Market Finds: Beef Jerky At The Farm Fresh Egg Table

Beef jerky at the Eggbert Free Range Farm table at the Beacon Farmers Market! Flavors include Sweet and Mild. Eggberts sold out of them last summer quite quickly, so these may go too! The scoop is that there are more on order from the Amish person in Pennsylvania who makes them.

The hens at Eggberts (not to be confused with the Christmas destination of egg-head Eggbert), eat only the finest food: pumpkin seeds, grass, oyster shells, flowers, and other foods that produce the special K in eggs that make the yolk orange, and has been measured to be lower in cholesterol than the eggs of other feed-fed hens. How do we know this random information? Because we took a Deep Dive into what makes a “farm fresh egg” and where to find them in Beacon. That article is somewhere in our Drafts and hopefully it will make it out of there. But right now, after our research, that best farm fresh egg is right here in the Veterans Building at the Beacon Farmers Market. When we publish the article, we’ll tell you where to get the next-best egg if you can’t get to market or a small producer. 

PS: Barb’s Butchery also has had farm fresh eggs, as does All You Knead Artisan Bakers in Beacon, sometimes. Both stores work with farms and bring the eggs back to their shops.

PPS: Where else can you get beef jerky in Beacon? At the beef jerky specialists, of course! Village Jerk next to The Chocolate Studio in Beacon near the mountain side of Main Street. See A Little Beacon Blog’s Shopping Guide for the address and details!
