Free advice:

Store bought commercialized eggs which have ‘vegetarian-fed’ on the package are almost always fed SOY.

Furthermore, don’t buy into the omega-3 BS for eggs: It’s just marketing. Omega-3 is the biggest marketing/label scam of the century.

And if you refuse to believe that, I bet that you believe that you get ample omega-3 from flax or chia seed, too.

When I was buying supermarket eggs, I typically just got the cheapest ones. "Vegetarian-fed" eggs have zero appeal to me as I'm a big meat eater anyhow. The omega-3 fortified eggs had no appeal either, especially as I eat a tin of sardines or oysters just about every day so my omega-3 needs are satisfied in a natural way.

The eggs I've been getting directly from local farms are pretty incredible however, which was the point of this post. You can definitely tell the difference in the taste and there is a much richer nutritional profile. Probably because the small farm chickens run around the yard all day eating bugs and whatever else they can find including their own feces. That doesn't bother me.
