The Bureau of Labor Statistics says eggs have jumped in price by nearly 50% since this time last year.Owner of Three Brothers Farm, Michael Gutschenritter, said he s having a hard time keeping up with the demand from gr

Gutschenritter said the increase in prices is due to the Avian Flu that impacted millions of birds nationwide and inflation.But, that hasn t stopped customers from trying to bypass the prices at the grocery store by going straight to the farm.

As of now, he won t be able to get new hens until the Fall. I can t produce more eggs, Gutschenritter said.His hens produce 1,000 dozen eggs a week, as he says. With farmers struggling, that leaves many customers walking on eggshells for now.Report a typo or error // Submit a news tip Yluu Swan boats at Veterans Park will now be lit during evening
