HOPE – The Hempstead County Women’s Farm Bureau Committee Egg Hatching Project with local third graders continues hatching more and more eggs each day. The chickens are now laying 8-10 eggs a day and vary in sizes as you can see. The Committee has been able to donate over twenty dozen within the community to seven different elderly families.

“What a true blessing to be able to share within our community and to know that all our third graders had a hand in it,” the group said in a statement. “Third graders from Clinton Primary and Garrett Memorial in Hope,  Spring Hill and Blevins are helping in this project and just know we are all touching lives in this time of need.”
