    The Farm Effect: Why Playing in the Mud Is Good for Your Kids2

    I was standing at the sink washing an egg for my breakfast the other day. We’d had rain the day before, and the egg was covered in mud and poop from chickens climbing into the nesting box to lay. Washing eggs is a daily task for me as a homesteader with chickens. This, along with
