Yes, they lay fewer eggs in the winter. My neighbor and I use the same farmer’s wife for our eggs. We were told last Fall that we might not be able to get as many eggs during the winter months, but so far, they have been able to fulfill our needs.
We were paying $4.50 a dozen, but I suggested in August that maybe we should offer to up our price. It is a young family, and this is their livelihood. So we offered to pay $6 a dozen, because the free range eggs at the grocery store are always at least that much. The farmer is very happy to have us as customers. It’s not a big jump for us, but it really helps that young family out.
By the way, these are very large eggs. When you compare them to the store version, it’s no contest. The color of the yolk is so much more yellow-orange, and the taste is fantastic.
As for the dates on store eggs, yeah, it makes me wonder what’s been going on there my whole life until we got these eggs. I never worry about these being bad.
THE STUDY OF THIS TOPIC WAS DONE YEARS AGO. MAYBE AS MANY AS 50.
EGGS HAVE BEEN GIVEN A BAD RAP FOR YEARS.
Overweight/not overweight is not the problem...what is your A1C?
Most Americans didn’t care what the government said about eggs.
They ate them anyway.
Nowadays, even more Americans don’t care............

My local farmer also increased their price from $4 to $5.
Their duck eggs from $7 to $8.
They also make preserves and pickles.
I inquired too late about the three pigs that were outside last year.
They were already sold.
They also sell goat milk.
There is another farmer on the other side of town that makes gelato from the milk of their sheep. They make some very interesting flavors.
There are three towns around that all have weekend farmers markets.
I have checked out each throughout the year.
In addition, my wife signed up with the company out of MA called Walden.
Named after the Thoreau pond.
They deliver to our house once a month wild caught fish and meats.
It comes shrink wrapped in vacuum sealed packaging in two person servings.
I’m sure we are paying TOP dollars for that stuff, but it is all sourced locally.
OMG! Do these people (”scientists”) EVER get anything right?
Take EVERYTHING they say with a grain of salt. And NO a grain of salt won’t kill you either.
Wild caught fish is the only kind I like to eat, if I can. We’re like you. We will pay more if the quality of the product is better. Local sources are better, too. We try hard to only eat very little of processed foods, though bacon is a regular in our diet.
We get bacon from Walden.
I eat about two slices a week.
I have too.
The Chihuahuas would be very disappointed if when I sit down at the table there was no bacon!
Most likely, the latter.
Those are just fine. Other people avoid them, so we have never experienced a shortage.
Carbs...
“, bread is the problem. That’s where your cholesterol comes from..”
Smart doctor. A few years ago, I read the book Wheat Belly, by Wm Davis, MD. He proved that wheat causes cholesterol. I stopped eating wheat right away and my choleterol was normal two months later.
I buy BFree Bread, made ENTIRELY of seeds, make avocado toast with it in the microwave , plop poached pasture-raised eggs on top. Delish and really good for you. Pasture-raised eggs cost a little more, but have lots more healthy omega 3.
Is this the place?

Cut the government funding of “studies”.
Yes, the Boss said that is the place
I’ll have to bake one and let you know!
My next cake was going to be a lemon blueberry cake....but, I might have to divert to the pound cake, first :-)
Thank you, I’ll look in to this.
i didn’t realize anybody still had the outdated thought that they were bad for the heart…research showing they weren’t bad for the heart has been around for 30 years
Fortified eggs are eggs that are harder to crack open... 🐓🥚🐣
#60 I start with hashbrown patties most days and then later 2 peanut butter cookies from the bakery and then chips like potato and tostitos. Mashed potatoes and slice of wheat bread with butter or peanut butter and jelly. My BP today testing 6 times with a wrist monitor ranges from 119/76 to 138/83 and in between. Just decided to do some testing and notice my BP range was about the same when I last used this nearly a year ago.
All I have done is drive somewhere today and drop a few things off then came back. Mostly on the pc standing or sitting and walking in my place to various chores. Boring. 5’11” 190lbs. My BP has always been in the 120/80 range with spikes due to just getting up to shortly after eating something.
