Overview
Not your typical farm, Lily's Eggs is a company run by Robert Tropper and Diana Tuomey that prides itself on the free range eggs they sell at local farmers markets and restaurants that value the high quality of egg they distribute. Rather than keep their chickens cooped up, the chickens are true free range chickens; they run around as they please and feast upon earthworms and vegetarian delicacies such as wheat sprouts, soybeans, milo, corn, and over-ripe strawberries. Tropper also considers the happiness of the chickens and other breeds of poultry he raises extremely valuable when running his business. He contends that chickens are extremely intelligent, despite the beliefs of many, and says that he has had chickens who have come to greet him at times. This egg-farmer considers the well-being of the chicken extremely vital to his business.
