I get eggs from a local farmer. They only come with a sell by date. Best eggs I’ve ever had. I get *fortifications* in other ways, like a daily vitamin or supplement.

I buy eggs from a local farmer for $5 a dozen.
Duck eggs for $8.

During the winter they ran out because the hens don’t lay as much.
I bought a dozen Free range eggs at the grocery store.
When I cooked one of each in a pan I noticed the difference in the color of the yoke.
The grocery store egg yoke was a pale translucent yellow. The farmer yoke was dark yellow almost orange.
I showed them to the Mrs and asked which one do you think is better for you.
Of course, she picked the darker farmer egg.

FYI, the farmer eggs are not washed.
They have a sticker on the package that says they are good for another three months when I buy them.
It makes me wonder how old they are when you buy them at the grocery store?
