We have 4 hens, and get 2-4 eggs a day. I've been giving them away when they build up on us. :-)

They are free range (well, they won't go out into the snow), organic, vegetarian chickies (do bugs count? :-)).

The ones I get are free range and all natural (no hormones, antibiotics, etc.) and they are fed natural feed with no animal products. They are not "certified" organic, though. They are huge too. Jumbo size. I love the price. They were $1/doz but costs for supply containers and all that caused the price increase.

I can't imagine paying so much for eggs. But, I get them from a local homeschooling family, not a grocer. I think "cage-free" here are over $3 a doz.

yep, i think michelle and I prolly get our eggs at the same place-- and they are great eggs They don't keep a ton of chickens, and the kids take care of them, and get the money from the eggs too

Actually cage free aren't that much if you want to go to walmart--- 1.89 dozen. If it tells you anything about here, Walmart actually carries more organic than most stores -- that is slowly changing, but it is still pretty bad. There are 2 teeny health food stores, only one of them has a smidge of produce. There is however a group that sells organic produce at the farmewrs market every other week... just a lot of going and doing and a lot of extra work to try and eat healthy!

Heather,

I guess I have not been to Walmart in a while. Last time I was there all you could get organic was bagged spinach and milk. Have they added some? Winn Dixie has a lot of organic in the one at Promonade, the one at Dalraida and the ones out east of town.

We actually have three HFS. The one in the Promanade, one on Atlanta Hwy and one on Burbank Drive. The one on Burbank is HIGH.

I usually avoid Wally World like the plague. Should I be reconsidering? If so, which one?

I wish we had a Costco here. They seem to be getting a lot of stuff I need lately.
