We had a couple in our Sunday School class last year. The husband's job is running an egg farm. Simpson's Eggs is right down the road from where we live. We have talked about taking a tour for a long time. Since Jeff was off, we decided to check things out.
Seth was the photographer of the trip. Some of the hens. In this house, one house, there are 79,000 hens. Each hens lays about 1 egg a day.
The farm has 1.2 million birds.
The egg travel from the house down a belt to the plant. It is amazing the computers and technology that works on the farm. The belt brings egg from the farthest house into the plant.
The white belts are bringing the eggs down from the cages to drop to the belt.
This is a farther picture showing two rows of hens.
After the house tour, we saw how the eggs are washed, separated into size, then loaded in the egg cartons. All I can say is amazing. It truly was a sight to see.
We now have a new place to buy eggs. So be on the lookout for Simpson's Eggs. If you see the name in your area, then buy those eggs. They sell to Sam's Club and Food Lion.
It was amazing to see the process of bird to carton.
