With bird flu on the rise in Ohio, many of us at home are seeing the impacts on egg prices. But for local bakeries, the rising cost in eggs is creating a lot of stress.
At Cincy Sammys, it’s easy to get hungry quickly. The bakery specializes in ice cream sandwiches with homemade cookies. But those eggs in each batch are becoming more and more pricey.
