CENTRALIA — Dustin and Austin Stanton’s first few weeks selling eggs at the Columbia Farmers Market in 2007 were a dismal failure.
Snow, ice and rain diminished the crowds at the farmers market. Dustin said the first week, they sold a half-dozen eggs. They doubled that the next week by selling a full dozen. Week Three also wasn’t good. They almost gave up.
Dustin was 14, a freshman at Centralia High School, and selling free-range eggs at the Columbia Farmers Market was to be his FFA project. Austin was 10.
