DVORAK FARM –organic brown eggs
6685 Flying Cloud Drive (near
Shady Oak Rd at Hwy 212)
The Dvorak Brothers produce and sell really good organic brown
eggs throughout the year. As 2008 begins the eggs are priced at $2.50/dozen
(cheap)!
Look for their sign on Flying Cloud Drive. Turn into the driveway and
go past the first house up to the barn and farmhouse. Look on the porch
for a refrigerator (the eggs are inside) and a pay box. In season, the
Dvoraks also grow and sell raspberries, sweet corn, onions, tomatoes
(heirloom red and yellow), cukes, zucchini, squash and pumpkins.
