I tried fresh eggs from the farmer's market, but they seemed a bit off. I think I'll try again this summer but from a different farmer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy/page/2#post-759517 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:46:29 +0000 regberadaisy 759517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: haha yea, it took me a few times to get used to the taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy/page/2#post-759511 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:44:42 +0000 Mrs. Twine 759511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Regberadaisy; Mr. T says he pities da foo' who raises chickens. I've tried to talk him into it several times, but he just says no. Apparently he does not like the idea of chicken poop everywhere. Men are so fussy sometimes! ;) I think once Lorelei gets a little older and our killer dog gets too old to hunt effectively we will have some more farm critters. I'd like some milk goats, and Ellie is going to get a horse in the next few years if she keeps up with her lessons. </p> <p>I would not be surprised at all if the taste is what turned your little one off of eggs. Raising them "naturally" so they can forage is good for the chickens, and also good for you (the eggs typically contain stronger nutrient profiles compared to average store-bought), but can have some... interesting... implications for flavor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759481 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:28:40 +0000 Boheme 759481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Mmm farm eggs are so good! With regular grocery store eggs I usually have to put a tiny sprinkle of cheese or something on them to liven them up, but the farm fresh eggs we get in the spring/summer don't need anything! </p> <p>We were going to get chickens this year but had too much else going on. Next year we're going to get our own and build them a chicken tractor coop. Our friends did this and are really happy with their fresh eggs, not to mention the entertainment they get from the chickens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759463 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:14:52 +0000 avivoca 759463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brown, cage-free eggs. Since we're not a huge egg family, I'm thinking about switching to organic or farm-fresh eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759454 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:11:58 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 759454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we buy the brown, organic eggs from costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759447 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:09:28 +0000 .twist. 759447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was buying brown organic free-range eggs. Although lately I've noticed these weird little brown dots in the white when I crack it. It's FREAKING me out and I went back to free-range white eggs. I'm going to see if there is a difference. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759441 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:07:03 +0000 pinkpeony921 759441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are lucky- our good friends have chickens that are free-run/organic fed, so we get our eggs from them. If we need to buy eggs at any point, we buy Cage-free organic eggs. They are definitely pricey, but we make up for that by getting free eggs otherwise! I used to buy Eggland's best (still great eggs, this would be my third choice.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759433 Fri, 03 May 2013 10:03:27 +0000 prettylizy 759433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to a local chicken farm who has free-run hormone free eggs for $3/dozen. I LOVE egg lady eggs, the yolks are almost orange :) In the winter months when her hens slow down on their laying we get whatever is in Costco, but we always check the egg lad first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759400 Fri, 03 May 2013 09:55:23 +0000 spaniellove 759400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cage-free organic, although during the summer/fall months we try to get them from local farmers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759216 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:54:54 +0000 regberadaisy 759216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I think so, but there is a noticeable taste difference between farm fresh eggs and the Egglands we used to get. And it fluctuates from batch to batch. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759214 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:53:52 +0000 Mrs. Bee 759214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: yep $5.99/dozen here for cage-free, organic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759210 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:52:39 +0000 mediagirl 759210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: interesting!! I wonder what the difference is...just what they eat? After reading all of these posts, I was thinking of looking up some farmers in my area to see if they sell eggs. At the Farmer's Market, a dozen eggs go for $3-$4. That's ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759203 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:51:09 +0000 Mrs. Bee 759203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: same here. free-range, organic. but free-range isn't always available, so then we get cage-free. but i'm pretty sure that just means they are in a large room together cramped in but not in cages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759202 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:50:39 +0000 looch 759202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Egglands Best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759196 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:48:41 +0000 MrsBrewer 759196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Regular large store brand eggs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759186 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:44:57 +0000 regberadaisy 759186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ohmygosh I just realized something. About when we started buying farm eggs is when M starting refusing eggs. I wonder if she doesn't like the taste of farm eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759179 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:44:38 +0000 BlueWolverine 759179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Organic brown cage free. My mom came to visit when LO was born and bought regular eggs. They were there, so I made them. The yolks were a sad yellow and they just didn't taste as good. I mean, they were fine, they were eggs, but I really think the organic ones taste better on top of the other benefits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759169 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:41:50 +0000 Mrsbells 759169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have tried organic eggs but i find that the egg shells crumble really easily so I just buy regular store brand because I hate when the shell crumbles into the egg </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759161 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:40:34 +0000 blackbird 759161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>April-October, I can buy eggs from a farm near my work. They are amazingly delicious and have bright orange yolks! Otherwise, regular ole large eggs from TJ's. I can't taste a difference between any other types and we eat a TON of eggs, so I buy generic. But those farm eggs? Amazing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-eggs-do-you-buy#post-759091 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:16:31 +0000 mediagirl 759091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cheapest large eggs we can find.
