Where did my ecological eggs come from?



It might not be so unusual for you, but today
was the first time I traced the eggs I had
bought at the supermarket right back to the
farm that had produced them.

Starting with the website
http://www.nordgarden.no listed in the box,
I then clicked on egg producers, and got a list
of numbers referring to the farmers.



From the printed numbers on the egg
(here reproduced in a slightly unnatural color
to show the number), I found that this
particular farm has around 7500 hens and
gets around 6000 eggs a day.

Thank you to the couple Rune and Tone
Skogli Garseg for taking full responsibility
for my six eggs!
