Jack Kronk 2011-02-15T17:50:09Z 2013-02-12T20:36:56Z <p>I buy only organic eggs from free roaming chickens, but as well all know, this does not mean they are free roaming on a pasture. It just means they can roam around in whatever capacity the keepers allow them to. It also just means that the grain feed is organic.</p> <p>So as much as I can, I buy "Vital Farms" eggs from Whole Foods, but they are $6.99 a dozen!</p> <p>Does anyone have <em>personal experience</em> buying eggs from a local farm or group that raises the chickens on pasture and does everything 'right'?</p> <p>I know about localharvest.com. i know about eatwild.com. But I have not had any success with that so I still want to know if anyone has a personal testimony and could possibly point me in the right direction.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Jack Kronk</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/23237/eggs-from-pastured-chickens-in-the-san-diego-area/23240#23240 Answer by ricechek for Eggs from pastured chickens in the San Diego area? ricechek 2011-02-15T17:54:53Z 2011-02-15T17:54:53Z <p>I also buy Vital Farms eggs from Whole Paycheck Market in San Diego. I have yet to try a nearby Farmers Market, but I've heard that pastured eggs can indeed be found there.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/23237/eggs-from-pastured-chickens-in-the-san-diego-area/23268#23268 Answer by JessInSD for Eggs from pastured chickens in the San Diego area? JessInSD 2011-02-15T20:19:10Z 2011-02-15T20:19:10Z <p>I get my eggs at the Encinitas Farmers Market from Gama Farms. They are the only stand there that sell eggs and it's $4.50 a dozen.

Eva 2011-02-16T04:56:58Z 2011-02-16T04:56:58Z <p>Open air chickens in San Diego would become coyote snacks in short order. If they are not fenced over, they are dead meat. I get my eggs for $3.00 a dozen from a lady down the street who has a big pen full of chickens. She feeds them fruit, seeds, table scraps, etc. No chemicals. It's not a perfect freerange environment, but the chickens are happy and healthy, and it's MUCH better than the commercial crap from the store. I live in Escondido. If that is close enough, I'll give you her phone number, but you have to drive there and pick the eggs up yourself. She is just a housewife who grows food on the side. It's not a big commerial enterprise. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/23237/eggs-from-pastured-chickens-in-the-san-diego-area/51479#51479 Answer by Michelle R. for Eggs from pastured chickens in the San Diego area?
