Rosemary Farms is located near Suey and Jones Roads in Santa Maria. The kind woman in the office will answer all your questions about eggs. If you live in the city, you don't have many opportunities to taste fresh produce.   Central Coast California is not Los Angeles and that's good because it is here that you can purchase eggs straight from the chicken.

Before eggs are packaged, a special light is shone through them to determine if they consist of double yolks and to also make sure none of the shells are broken before selling. Eggs with broken shells are thrown into a bucket and the collection is sold and then packaged in animal food products.

Steve Zaritsky has owned Rosemary Farms since 1997. An egg man like his father and his grandfather, Zaritsky characterizes it as one of the smallest commercial egg operations in California but one of the largest producers of organic and cage-free eggs in the western United States.
