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

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.

When you go to the web site, click on contact, upper right and it will give you the address as well as a map.

Fresh Eggs
 
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.

Thanks again

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 10-23-2012 02:56 PM

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