• I think the dairy off Brookhurst was Yellis (sp??) Dairy. It was on the street leading to Fedco I think. My mom used to take us there to buy eggs and milk and blue popcicles. They had a lot of farm animals.

• Wasn't Stehley's located on Walker between Orange and Ball in Cypress? I lived in the neighborhood that backed to the egg ranch as a kid. I could swear that was the name of it.

• The egg ranch in Cypress was the Singing Hen Egg Ranch - here is a recent post on the web re: the now re-named Singing Hen Farm and the daily tours it offers:
  
  Singing Hen Farm
  9731 Walker St.
  Cypress
  (714)826-9494
  
  Cypress was a rural town until the 1960's and Singing Hen Farm owner Calvin Meekhof raised chickens. After he moved the operation to Riverside, he still kept two rows of chicken and black rabbit cages on the property and put them in front of Singing Hen Farm, which is a small dairy grocery placed on the family's egg ranch location.
  
  Time: Monday-Friday
  
  10 a.m.-6 p.m.
  
  Cost: Free
  
  Enjoy!

• I think this egg ranch may be the place I went to with my then boyfriend, now husband, to get eggs for the bakery that was in the Garden Grove Plaza located at Chapman and Brookhurst. He worked at that Bakery for two years while attending Garden Grove H. S. The owner of the bakery sent him to get the eggs. I went along. The place I remember was off a main street(maybe Euclid) in Anaheim. We drove down a long dirt drive way with trees(probably orange trees) on either side of the driveway. We entered a clearing with a modest house and probably other buildings. I do not remember the specifics of that. This memory had been lost to me until I read about it here. Thanks!

• I remember going to Stehley's store for eggs and fruit with my grandpa in the early 80's. If I recall right, it was on Brookhurst, just south of Ball Road. It's now something else. I remember we'd get avacados in one room and other produce, and then you'd get your eggs from a different room on the right. I was probably only like 5-10 years old then, and then it closed and we didn't go there anymore.
  
  I THINK Mr. Stehley was catholic and went to our church St. Justin's down the street. For some reason, I remember that connection - but don't hold me to it! I was only 5 remember.

• I remember a egg ranch on Knott ave north of Katila just entering Stanton on the left side of Knott.
  You could buy a dozen eggs with double yokes for 99 cents.

• The egg farm was near the corner of Ball road at Dale ave. backing up to Dale JR high school. I went to the JR high in 1972-4 and remember the place.

• hi, I posted the original commment on Stehley's egg ranch. If I recall correctly it was in Anaheim, on ball and brookhurst. Across from the center that was Alpha Beta, Pets N Stuff pet store and there was also a Howard's restaurant? any of this ringing a bell? The post office was located across the street and the Brookhurst Movie theatre.
