Mr MB heard on the local ABC radio about a Food Trail tour, part of Innisfail's excellent annual Feast of the Senses, that included a visit to the Yamagishi Happy Egg Farm. These are the only eggs eaten in the MB household, a dozen or so super jumbo eggs are purchased each week from Rusty's Markets.The duo booked in for the tour which included visits to Yamagishi, Liverpool River Banana plantation, Off the Rails Cafe in South Johnstone and the Mungalli Dairy (another of MB's food heroes).
The Yamagishi farm is located near Innisfail, established and run by a Japanese family and has around 18,000 hens which are fed daily with fresh cut grass and fresh tablelands corn, the hen houses are extremely clean with plenty of room to move for the hens. MDR is allergic to chook poo, but he didn't suffer any ill affects at all. MB was very excited to help collect 110 fresh eggs, some of them still warm.

It should be noted that an "incident" of mass food poisoning at a Cairns hotel a couple years ago was tracked back to these so-called "happy eggs".
I along with many other concerned restaurateurs in town stopped with the "happy eggs" immediately as the breeding practices by this farm are the core of the problem.
"There is always a rotten egg in the basket" my mother used to say. This related more to people than to eggs...
bryan that's ignorance... all raw egg deserts are always a risk... it could happen from any egg farm
