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.

What I find weird is people’s aversion to buying the organic and local eggs. They had them for half the price as the factory farm eggs yet people weren’t touching them.

A lot of local eggs here will have slightly orange yolks and my family just won't do it, not even in cornbread.

the orange yolks are usually a sign of better hen health... the irony of this. they taste a lot better, too.
