Eggs US – Price – Chart

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.

Yes. Vital Farm eggs. Been $8 a dozen for a long time. No change in price.

What we're seeing are the consequences of factory farming and not treating animals like the living beings they are.

I've been paying almost $11 for them.

Wow! That's crazy. Here in the UK, the most expensive eggs in my local supermarket - which are Clarence Court Burdord Brown eggs - are only the equivalent of $5.08 per dozen. Those are the posh, expensive, eggs that only those with a bit of extra cash in their pocket, and a desire to eat more healthily, would buy.

I love how British eggs have deep, amber yolks. Are they force-feeding the hens Earl Grey?

Food additive manufacturers sell farmers aditives to produce yolks with specific hues[1]. There are regional/cultural variations in color preferences, so regional farmers will target different sades.
