Since we discovered this little farm, we haven’t bought eggs anywhere else.
We bring the cartons back when we need more, grab a few more, and the same little cycle continues. It’s one of those simple things that just became part of our routine.
And you don’t need this particular farm to do it.
Look for a small farm or farm stand near you. Or, if you buy eggs at a farmers market, ask if you can bring your own carton.
I’ve done this at the Highland Falls/West Point Farmers Market. I transferred the eggs into my own carton so the farmer could keep theirs to reuse, and I could keep reusing mine.
Reducing waste doesn’t always require some big lifestyle change.
Sometimes it’s just asking, “Can I use my own?”
