Interesting Read About Eggs.
Check out these stories and articles about why egg prices, especially organic, are much higher than conventional. I was also told once by an organic egg farmer that if eggs were purchased by the lb. instead of per dozen, people probably wouldn't complain about paying $3-$5 for a dozen eggs, which is about a lb. of eggs. Plus, free range eggs have much more nutritional value than an egg from a chicken that is stuck in a cage for it's short life. The Mother Earth News article is great and the other one from Local Harvest helps explain what a grower ends up making after the chicken bills are paid.
