Worth the Wait Discussion

Residents of Worthington and surrounding areas, rejoice! While egg prices across the country have been skyrocketing due to inflation, supply chain woes, and overly ambitious chickens demanding "better working conditions," our flock somehow missed the memo. Turns out, they didn't unionize—so their contract negotiations were limited to extra snacks and a cozy coop.

If there's one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that no boot, no matter how sturdy, can withstand the pull of Worth the Wait Farm’s legendary spring mud pits. But this year, we’re ahead of the game. That’s right—we’ve officially declared war on the mud with our trusty UTV.

Gone are the days of stepping confidently onto what looks like solid ground only to end up one sock deep in disaster. Now, we cruise over the mud like royalty, safe from the treacherous puddles that lurk around every corner. Is it excessive? Maybe. Is it life-changing? Absolutely.

Of course, it's not all about mud dodging this season—spring is also delivering its annual dose of beauty and excitement. The flowers are starting to wake up and stretch toward the sun, and the greenhous…
