For William and Diana, being an egg farmer is more than a full-time job; it's a way of life. The Wyoming, Ontario couple both grew up on farms and started egg farming in 1997, about 11 years after they got married. After school and on weekends, their kids pitch in at the farm, doing tasks such as collecting eggs. But they also find time to spend together as a family. On a nice day, they'll head to the beach for a couple hours, dock their boat for a break. The kids also like driving their antique tractors, which they inherited from Diana's father. Diana says that one of the things she loves about chickens is that, regardless of the weather, they'll always lay eggs. "It's something to be thankful for," she says.
