When it comes to eggs I like the brand Vital Farms<\/a> because their mission is to \u201cbring ethically produced food to the table.\u201d Basically, the company is a collective of family farms that believes in the humane treatment of animals. Their eggs are sourced from farmers whose chickens range free. A happy hen produces good eggs. I also love their website because it features short clips of hens wandering in open pastures and scratching for grubs. I raised chickens for 2 years, so I appreciate the joy they bring\u2014no, really! The other thing I like is that inside each egg carton is a tiny news sheet, the Vital Times<\/em>, which, besides needing a magnifying glass to read, always makes me smile. Their latest issue has a story about taking time to give thanks, and Vital Farms is nothing if not thankful for their \u201cgirls,\u201d as they call the hens, and for us, the consumer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope this season brings you quiet moments of thankfulness and simple pleasures all your own!\u201d they say. Well yes, we hope so too, but sometimes just being grateful for the simple pleasures in life has to suffice. If you\u2019re a hen that means sunshine, grassy pastures, and dust baths. Right now I\u2019d settle for the same if it meant one whole day without being troubled by the chaos in American right now.<\/p>\n

On the flip side of their latest little news sheet is a paragraph about the effects of gratitude on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. If you\u2019re a reader of my blog, you know that\u2019s my jam. I\u2019m a huge fan of writing down five things each day I\u2019m grateful for. Gratitude, it\u2019s what\u2019s for breakfast\u2014quite literally in the case of Vital Farms.<\/p>\n

So enjoy their news and also this picture of tree fungus, which I saw on today\u2019s walk. Sunshine and grass but no dust baths because it\u2019s mostly mud out there this time of year.<\/p>\n
