This should indicate that the birds have a little room to roam and access to grass, bugs, dirt, etc... You can tell a good egg from a mediocre one by the yolk color - dark orange is good, pale yellow is mediocre. You might shop around from different vendors to see who has the best eggs. </p> <p>I decided that all the eggs I can get locally suck. No difference between store-bought and farmers market. Now eggs from my parents' farm, these are the real deal, I'll clean out the fridge when I visit. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/145863/school-me-on-farm-fresh-eggs/145878#145878 Answer by Tamanduá for School me on farm-fresh eggs Tamanduá 2012-08-28T22:48:54Z 2012-08-28T22:48:54Z <p>"Pastured"...
