Tour a 100-Year-Old Organic Egg Farm - Tacoma Reads Together Special Event
"The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a
thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you thought
special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else,
a person you never met, someone who even is long dead. And it is as if a
hand has come out and taken yours."
--The History Boys, a play by Alan Bennett--
The Wilcox Family Farmis a 1,760-acre farm located just outside the town of Roy and home to over 800,000 laying hens, several hundred thousand pullets (young chickens), a shell egg processing plant and a liquid egg processing plant. Free guided bus tour and an omelet feed. Great for the entire family!
