All About Local Grains

When you think of agriculture in the Adirondacks, you may not think of waving fields of grain. However, New England was actually the “breadbasket” of the United States until the late 1800’s. Read more in the Adirondack Almanack here.

What does "organic" mean?

It can be hard to understand all of the similar and complicated food labels that allude to how something was grown or raised. It is helpful to know what different labels and certifications mean to help you make informed choices about how your food made it onto your plate. We compiled a collection of common definitions of terms used to describe how food is grown and processed.

The cost of everything has increased in the past year. But the rise in egg prices has been particularly notable.

The average cost of a dozen commercially produced eggs grew by around 50% in the past year, compared to a 12% increase in price for chicken, and a 15% increase in milk prices.

In the Adirondacks, a dozen of commercial conventionally raised eggs could reliably be purchased for around $3 now costs closer to $5-6.

There are several reasons why eggs specifically have been impacted, including a national outbreak of avian flu among commercial poultry facilities that began in March of 2022, along with an increase in grain and fuel prices.

So, if you’re going to pay $5-6 a dozen for eggs at the grocery store, why not buy them from a local farmer instead?
Right now in the Adirondack region, local eggs cost around $5-6 a dozen, about the same price as mass-produced eggs from the Midwest. Not only would you get a better quality egg by purchasing from a local farm, but your dollars would also go directly to farms and small businesses in your community.
