A Chicken-And-Egg Story Takes Shape For Reno Firm

So this story begins when Alan and Dawn Spinola bought land out in the country near Red Rock Road north of Reno because they wanted to have a horse.

Which, in due course, brought them to the feed store where Dawn Spinola saw some chicks that were simply too cute to resist.

Which, in a classic chicken-and-egg story, resulted in eggs — a few eggs at first for the Spinolas’ friends, but now the flock has grown to 461 chickens and the couple finds that they’re busily developing a commercial egg business that serves grocers and restaurants.

RenoEgg.com, the couple’s business, looks to catch the wave of interest in locally grown and healthier foods, delivering eggs produced by free-ranging chickens to Reno-area kitchens within a week. Dawn Spinola says that’s about four times faster than deliveries from big egg producers to traditional grocers.
