Attendance at the Des Moines Farmers Market was down significantly because of Saturday’s stormy weather, but vendors who sell organic eggs still sold every egg they had.
Eileen Lundberg of Runnells bought the last three dozen eggs at one booth. ”The eggs have been rather popular lately and I’ve been buying them this way for a long time, just because I feel like I don’t mind paying more for organic food because I’m also paying for somebody to take care of the land and I always like Blue Gate’s eggs,” Lundberg said. “I trust them. They’re always clean.”
Lundberg, a regular customer at the Blue Gate Farms booth at the Des Moines Farmers Market, wasn’t surprised by the nationwide recall of eggs produced at two operations in Iowa. “But I didn’t panic or anything because I don’t ever buy my eggs at the store,” Lundberg said.
