If you have ever tried real fresh farm raised eggs, you will never go back to buying them from a store.

Yup I used to buy eggs from a friend who had a farm up north. She had a bunch of different animals, and sometimes she'd swap out a chicken egg with a duck egg as a treat.

Down here, there's a place I know I can get fresh eggs but can't remember the name of it. Meanwhile I get them from Walmart, and switch between Happy Eggs and Handsome Eggs, depending on what they look like that day.

I just checked, the price for each is up around 50 cents a dozen. But when you're paying between $4.50 and $5.50 a dozen to begin with, 50 cents is not a deal-breaker.
