Quality Source: Fresh Eggs

I recently found out that my mentor at work raises chickens, and is quite happy to dole out her extra eggs by the dozen to anyone willing to take them.  All she asks in return is a mere couple of dollars to help cover costs, or in our case, fresh or dried fruit or homemade baked goods to barter.  Now that she knows that HH and I are willing recipients, she automatically brings me a dozen anytime we have a meeting.

Fresh eggs from chickens that are raised outdoors with access to a more natural chicken diet are said to be healthier than eggs from industrialized operations.  Of course, they're also more expensive to buy if you don't have a sweet hookup like we do.  But the biggest difference, in my opinion, is how delicious they are.  HH often cooks up some eggs, bacon, and toast or hashbrowns for lunch on the weekends and it is obvious when the eggs are fresh because of how tasty the meal is.  (Although, that could also have something to do with the bacon.)
