miles and 16,520 gallons of fuel each year, Abingdon, VAbased Food City announced it would be partnering with Abingdon-based Dutt & Wagner to purchase eggs. The family owned Dutt & Wagner, partnered with its sister company, Green Valley Poultry Farm (also of Abingdon), is the largest producer and distributor of fresh shell eggs in Virginia.
