For John Young, the fourth generation to work at Young’s Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs, Ohio, the United States, Easter means lots and lots of eggs.
In years past, on the week leading up to the holiday, the team at this family-owned farm and amusement park buys 10,000 of them for their annual Easter egg hunt. They are then baked in standing ovens – “It’s much quicker than boiling that many” – and cooled before being hand-dyed by the dozens in big steel bowls.
