Our first speaker of the day was Jeri Villareal owner of Our City Farm located in U-City. Our City Farm produces poultry, fresh eggs and a variety of herbs and produce. Jeri spoke about what all the egg carton labels you see at the grocery store mean. People were shocked to see that many of the labels they thought were good for their families are actually just marketing.
