\/><\/a><p>A few weeks ago for my birthday, my friend Jai Kellum\u00a0of <a href=\"http:\/\/kingshillfarm.com\/\">King&#8217;s Hill Farm<\/a> gave me an assortment of farm fresh eggs.\u00a0 She brought me some chicken eggs, duck eggs, and some mammoth-sized goose eggs.\u00a0 I had never tasted goose eggs before so I was particularly curious.\u00a0 Jai said this is a special treat because per year, one goose\u00a0lays about 90 eggs and they are only available\u00a0from early springtime to\u00a0mid-summer.\u00a0 (In contrast, chickens can lay from 300 eggs\u00a0and up year-round.)\u00a0 The price per egg is $4 and I think it&#8217;s well worth it.\u00a0 The yolk of one goose egg is equivalent to about 5 chicken egg yolks.\u00a0 Because of its richness, goose eggs are especially desirable\u00a0to home bakers and pastry chefs.<\/p>\n<p>King&#8217;s Hill Farm adheres to certified organic practices.\u00a0 All of the animals\u00a0live free range in open pasture on the Kellum&#8217;s 850 acre property.\u00a0 Keith and I look forward to our visit there this summer.\u00a0 Meanwhile, check out <a
