Today’s assignment took us to Honea Path where Donna Putney raises “free range” chickens. The question before us was, are local egg producers seeing an increase in sales because of the nationwide egg recall?
Yes. No. Maybe. Hard to say. You see, demand for Putney’s locally-produced eggs is already high. Just ask Whole Foods Market on Woodruff Road, where Putney’s eggs are proudly sold.

The fun part was watching News 4 photojournalist Johnny Bates trying to get shots of hens sitting on their eggs. “The girls,” as Putney calls them, were quite nervous. I guess they don’t like having their pictures taken.
JB zooms in for the shot!
We left Putney’s home with a new appreciation for her “free range” chickens that produce eggs of different colors. She even gave us an awesome new coffee mug that says, Upstate Locally Grown Market.
Thanks Donna!

Aww, thanks, Tim!
I really enjoyed having you and Johnny out at the farm. You both seemed to be excited to be here. Sorry that I forgot to give you a sample of eggs! You are welcome back any time.
