I had a chance to meet the author once and she was hilarious so have been keeping her book in mind for awhile to see if it was as funny as she was in person. It was an interesting book and while not as funny maybe as she was in person it was still pretty humorous.

I have been reading this book about the egg business and have decided to make this my 10 year goal...one day I too will be a chicken farmer. Although one may say I already am.

Hope this isn't more than you wanted to know😉 If you are at all interested in where your food comes from, you should read this book. But it's more than just facts and figures and chicken-raising. It's about following your dreams and digging deep when times are tough and celebrating your successes and continuing to learn and grow. The book is funny and informative, a fast and easy read. And you gotta love the title!

PurpleyPumpkin This sounds really interesting. Stacked!📚 9y
Posemn This looks like it is right up my alley. 9y

Don't mean to put anyone off their breakfast/lunch/dinner. Been doing a lot of thinking about where our food comes from...

Educational (and funny too). Really making me think about our food industry - local, national, and global.

Just coffee on this stormy morning in Minnesota⛈⛈⛈The lightning has been a little too close and the kitties are in the basement. #bookplusdrink #septphotochallenge #bookanddrink

Posemn Oops! Going through your posts and now I see you ARE in MN. Hi neighbor. 9y
slhbooks @Posemn hello🙋 Have you heard this author on MPR? She's pretty funny and tells a good story about their MN egg business. Say, are you in WBL? We lived there for a short time many years ago. 9y
Posemn Yes I am. We just moved (well, re-moved actually) here last spring. Love it here. 9y

Nellie helped me choose my next read. She likes birdies🐣🐥🐔 I've heard the author on MN Public Radio a couple of times. She's a good speaker and pretty funny. Looking forward to their story.
