Fresh Eggs

[Madelaine Amee]

Is there any place locally that you can get fresh eggs?

[Luv2travel]

Sure, at Fernando's located 1/4 mile East of Pedro on 42.

Thanks for the information - much appreciated.

Here I am a much older person than I used to be and I don't think I can tell a fresh egg from a fresher egg and never once in my WHOLE life did I run into a rotten egg, (well maybe once, but he wasn't in a carton).

I have read how you can tell if they are recently laid but I cannot perceive the real difference.

I did not mean to minimize the OP or her valid post who I think is the cat's pajama's and I can't wait to meet her.

when you get them fresh from the farm the yolks are a different color and you will never go back to store bought, we get them every other week up north from a farm, at easter they come in such cool colors blue green off yellow

Here is a link from a previous post that gives the address of a farm where you can get fresh eggs. I haven't been there yet, but I plan on going soon. I have not been happy with the quality of eggs in FL except for the ones my friend brought to me from a farm.

Try this address and link.

From 466 make a left on 301. Up a few miles on the right there is a fresh produce stand that usually has fresh eggs. I've bought them a few times...they were $1.99.

Again, my thanks for the information provided.......... and, oh yes, there is a huge difference between fresh and store bought.

I am not too old to learn.

And YOU Madelaine Amee...YOU are a good egg!!!

Gracie there seems to be little about food and cooking that you don't know. However, there is a huge difference between the eggs you purchase at most supermarkets and those fresh from the right farm. We used to have chickens and the last few years have bought our eggs from an Amish farm. The yolks are usually a bright and dark orange and have so much more rich flavor that the difference is stark. When we have to buy typical supermarket eggs they are hard for me to accept. This is not one of those things where some people imagine that something is better - there is a huge difference.

Are you allowed to keep 2 chickens as pets in TV?

[stealth]

not sure how many you are looking for, but i sell them. I work here in The Villages and i sell them for my son.

I think it's the same as dogs, as long as you dress them alike you can have as many as you want.

Are they smiling or not?

Now there's a thought.:shrug::pray::a20:

[jblum315]

Did you know that the color of the egg shell is determined not by the color of the chicken but by the color of the chicken's ear lobe? Yes, chickens have ears apparently.

Is that another chicken joke? (Laugh In)

eweissenbach, I agree with you about eggs coming from the right farm. If your Amish farm is around here, can you tell us where it is?

Sorry, it is in Northwest Missouri. I am not aware of any Amish in the Villages area. There was an earlier thread that mentioned some farms where one could buy eggs, and it was pasted into an earlier post on this thread.

[eweissenbach]

Okay; I will try to illustrate the point with a picture (I hope it works). I just took two eggs out of my refrigerator, one is an egg from a nearby farm the other is an egg from a supermarket. See if you can tell which is which!

Nice picture, Ed.

I think there is a difference in peeling hard boiled eggs. I think older eggs peel easier than fresher ones. (Or it could be the other way around.) But I definitely find it more difficult to peel some hard boiled eggs than others!

IMHO, you've all missed the real reason to buy farm eggs. If they are caged and fed feed, they may be fresher than the supermarket, but they are the same. IF you can find farm eggs from chickens that can roam the barnyard, THOSE are the eggs to get! It is the bugs and "stuff" that they eat that really changes the color and most importantly ...... the flavor. The egg taste is more pronounced. That is the real difference, again ... MHO.

All true, and not only that but they get excercise which makes them healthier and thus the eggs are healthier and more robust.
