" THE BEST EGGS IN TOWN "





   Wood Hill Farm was located in Marshfield, Massachusetts.


For many years Jack and Elsie Wood owned a farm with 18 acres of land.  They had 4 children named Bob, Karla, Larry & Jim. There were sheep, cows, a rooster named Crazyhorse, 10 -12 cats, a dog, rabbits and approx. 3000 chickens from which 10 - 15 baskets of eggs were gathered daily, which were washed, graded and packed into egg cartons.
This website is dedicated to friends, family, past customers, and all others that visited our farm over the many happy years
