The Elmore County Food Pantry now has fresh farm eggs, and a Tallassee resident is the one supplying them.

Fern Bel Compton said one thing that comes up with raising chickens is excess eggs. Some chicken raisers remedy this by feeding the eggs back to the chickens, but Compton realized she could donate the eggs instead.
