Fresh, local eggs have remained around the same price here. While more expensive than eggs from large producers in normal times, they are now often cheaper.

This is a great reminder of how important it is to support local farmers and small operations, which increase the resilience of the system as a whole.

I’ve always bought the most expensive pasture raised free range cage free eggs at Whole Foods. If I recall they used to be around $10 per dozen.

Been a while.

Anyone know Is this still the case?

Still $3.50 at TJs in SF last week still, which is by far the cheapest around (that I'm aware of).

Pretty surprised they are still that low given prices elsewhere.

I've definitely noticed the pricing for eggs at our neighborhood Trader Joes staying constant while the pricing at our neighborhood Safeway has doubled.

Trader Joes is like Costco and is known for driving hard bargains; they likely have a long-term contract. You overpay a bit but guarantee stability.

Loss leader, perhaps, to get people through the door and buy other stuff at a better markup. That and/or they've got long-term fixed price contracts.
