The Amish Preserve Eggs for a Full Year Without a Fridge — The $2 Method the Grocery Store Won't Mention For about two dollars and one afternoon in the spring, I keep eleven dozen eggs fresh for a full year in my cellar, with no refrigerator at all. My name is Mammi Sarah. I am Amish, and I have kept a laying flock in Lancaster County for more than fifty years without once buying an egg. My grandmother kept a crock exactly like mine, and her mother before her. Every spring your hens give more than you can eat. Every winter they give almost nothing, and back you go to the store. The trouble is not the egg. The packing plant washes the bloom off the shell, the coat the hen herself put on it, and a stripped egg cannot keep. They took the coat off, then sold you the machine. I will show you the three things you need, where to buy the one that costs money, the exact measure to mix, and the honest truth: an egg was built to keep itself, and nobody gets rich reminding you of that. ⚠️ The dry powder is caustic before it goes into the water. Do not breathe the dust, keep it off your skin and out of your eyes, and put the bag up high, away from children and animals. Treat it with the same respect your grandmother did. Tell me in the comments where you live, and whether you keep your own hens. I read every one.
