Default Farm Fresh Eggs!

While at the post office I heard a man ask, "Got my chickens back there?"
"Not yet; check back around 2:00." Yep, he raises chickens (free range,
organic feed). And he sells eggs. Large brown eggs, $1.50/dozen. Just so
happens we ran out of eggs this morning so they were on my shopping list.
Unfortunately he wasn't going to be home until much later and I was on my
way to the store right then. But I know where to get them next time

The price of regular large white eggs at the grocery store wasn't too bad;
$1.89/doz. The "organic" white eggs - $3.59/dozen! and the brown ones were
10 cents higher. Ridiculous! IIRC the only different between white eggs
and brown ones are the feathers on the hens that lay them.
