Jacob’s Ladder Farms

Sharing a railway arch in the Maltby Street Market venture with a few other vendors (a cheese vendor and an oatcake vendor), Jacob’s Ladder Farms sells meat. From their farms.
I don’t really care about meat, being a vegetarian, but I was on a hunt for eggs. Farm-​fresh eggs. After having a look at the multi-​coloured eggs from the farm’s hens of many breeds, I was taken by the blue egg in the carton containing 6 other brown, white and speckled eggs that I was immediately sold. 6 eggs, please! The fact that 6 eggs cost £3.50 didn’t faze me at the time.
I haven’t tasted them yet, but I have started feeling a little bit foolish for paying nearly 60p per egg. But perhaps they’ll be little taste explosions, with gloriously orange yolks, from happy little hens back on Jacob’s Ladder’s farms going ‘cluck cluck cluck’. Totally worth it.
Oh, and the woman who served me was lovely and offered information about the eggs and hens themselves without me having asked for it. Such is the demographic of people shopping for foodstuffs along Maltby/​Druid Street that she assumed I would want this information. I did, obviously. Why else would I pay 60p for an egg?
