Free eggs in NYC: FarmerJawn giving them out Friday

High eggs prices have been a concern for consumers across America this year.

Recently we got some good news. The average cost of a dozen large white eggs is now $4.90, compared with an all-time high of $8.64 on March 5, the United States Department of Agriculture said last week.

That's the lowest level registered since Dec. 20.

The prices, though, remain significantly higher than the long-term average of around $2.

To help people out, FarmerJawn will be giving away free eggs this Friday, March 21st, at various locations in New York City. The farm will give away 100 dozen eggs at each location.

"We’re doing this egg giveaway because, as food producers, we believe it’s our responsibility to support the communities that support us," a statement from the group read. "No matter where you live, Your local farmers are the backbone of any food system—not just grocery stores—and we want people to know that we’ll always have their backs, have no fear."

FarmerJawn said it was partnering with Prince Abou Butchery in Queens and Triple J Farm in Upstate New York in order to bring the eggs to the neighborhoods that they said have helped shaped them.

"Food is medicine, and everyone — especially the often-forgotten middle class — deserves access to it. In this big world we’re still a village. We are using our own resources in this effort, and we welcome other businesses who want to pitch in to connect with us," FarmerJawn said in their statement. "At our core, we do business for good. We want to inspire other businesses to serve when they can, however they can. A simple act like giving away eggs might seem small, but it’s a powerful reminder that food connects us all.
