One of the farms is in the next town over from me and they put in an anaerobic digester a few years ago to turn farm waste into electricity. They now partner with the local schools and collect and process their food waste too. Good eggs!

@apLundell they do milk and cheese too! It’s dairy farms so unless you are right about the egg laying cows, probably it was started to sell milk products. But eastern CT was traditionally a big egg producing region so it makes sense we’d develop a combo milk/egg producing animal.
