Adding pasture raised eggs to my weekly order

Ever since that first week when we received a free half dozen eggs, I've been thinking of adding eggs to my weekly order. I called Grant's Farm and asked the price, and found out they would cost $4.50 per dozen. At the Farmer's Market, I talked to the person who is in charge of the farm's egg program, and he sold me on the superior quality of eggs that come from pasture raised hens, who are fed organic scraps.

I decided that the farm's "pasture raised" eggs were something I'd like to try after learning that "pasture raised" is much better than "cage free" where hens are still in a pen with many others and have access to a small door to go outside, buy most rarely do. Instead, pasture raised hens live mostly outside and wander the pasture, pecking around and looking for bugs and worms to eat, and are fed a totally organic diet of corn and soybeans, as well as organic scraps from the same vegetables we are consuming. The yolks of these eggs are more orange in color than yellow.

So, we added a dozen eggs to our order starting this week, and Carolyn has agreed to split it with us.
