Pastured eggs catching on.....

"Hens by the dozen scamper down the grassy hill from their laying houses to greet Liz Cunninghame as she tootles up in the bright yellow-and-black Cub Cadet cart she calls "the Wasp."

It's early afternoon at Clark Summit Farm just north of Tomales, 160 acres of certified organic farmland in the coastal hills of West Marin. Cunninghame is making her daily egg run, and she's taking this city slicker along to see firsthand what's behind the current craze for pastured eggs."

Pastured eggs catching on


Note the difference between the pastured egg on the left and the standard commercial egg purchased at a grocery store.

They actually taste different, too. That's all I ate when I was in Spain. They're awesome!

Any egg other than a store-bought egg is good. The eggs from the Amish Market are good. The difference in the taste is amazing. I used to get eggs from a friend who has a huge farm and her chickens ran loose in a large area....great eggs!

Don't see alot of difference except in the look of the yoke. Nutrition wise? :shrug: Guess I'll have to taste them for myself and see.

You need to taste them. Grocery store eggs will seem tasteless after you eat a "fresh" egg.

I don't buy mine from a grocery store. Buy them from a guy at work that has his own chickens. Can't get'em any fresher than the day before unless you go stick your hand under the chickens butt and get them yourself.

Looks like the difference between my brain, and some of the people's brains in here. I'm the one on the left...

patch, careful: your sense of humor is showing

Farm Fresh eggs are BY FAR better than the grocery store eggs that have been sitting in refrigeration for months (years???)
