IF you can get farm fresh eggs they are even better. I don’t have chickens. Never will. However, there are at least a dozen people that sell eggs within a few miles of my house.
I buy mine from a gentlemens farm about a mile away. They have duck eggs too. They also raise a few hogs and have goats. They also make jams & pickles.
The yokes of these eggs are so much darker in color than the ones you buy in the store. Sometimes they are almost orange.
Plus, I kinda like knowing where my food is coming from.
There is another small farm that sells lamb meat and gellato made with the milk from those sheep. She also has eggs from her chickens.
Lastly, I shot a deer out behind the house last November. The meat is great. Plus I know what that deer was eating.
It was not raised in some feed lot being fed GMO grains.
I’m feeding the deer in my yard so we are not shooting them.
But, the butcher has local fresh eggs and lots of other stuff. He has bakery bread and tons of homemade stuff. I get the Jumbo eggs and they vary between 70 and 80 grams and as you said, orange yolks. They do have very thin shells however and so I have to handle them carefully especially when hard boiling.
I eat a lot of Portuguese sardines. flash frozen Norway salmon and buy Basmati rice by the 15 lb bag.
In any given week I probably eat 15 Jumbo eggs a half lb of bacon, 5 cans of Nuri sardines 5 fillets of salmon a pound of raw frozen shrimp, rice and a loaf of bakery focaccia. And not much else. I don’t do recipes with more than three ingredients.
