The Eggman
Some photos from a story I photographed for Edible Austin Magazine. The Eggman refers to Jeremiah Cunningham, a super-welcoming businessman turned farmer who now owns and runs Coyote Creek Farms which supplies eggs to Whole Foods Market. 
From the Edible Austin article:
Born in 1936 and raised in rural Texas, Cunningham never lost his love of the country and farm animals. An Austin businessman for 25 years, he moved to the farm in 1996 seeking a more peaceful, affordable, semiretired lifestyle. “I got chickens as soon as I got here,” he says. “Fresh eggs are about one of the best foods on the planet.”
But working the land this time around required a new skill set for Cunningham, a towering man with a gentle face and burly, weatherworn hands. “When I first got here, the good news was that there’d been no chemicals put on the land for about fifteen years, so it wasn’t polluted. It’s just that nothing had been done . . . at all,” he says. To improve the soil, he applies compost tea regularly, and relies on the plants to do their job. “The roots of our grasses go down two, three, four, five feet. These roots bring up minerals that are good and rich.”
Love the first shot! Great work
