All it took was one free-range egg and I swore I would never go back to the tasteless white eggs that are mass produced in battery operations being fed a whole cocktail of steroids, antibiotics, and God knows what else. So you pay a little extra but the taste, the peace of mind, and knowing you are not supporting a miserable practice make it worthwhile. I did not expect our eggs to be much different than the organic free-range eggs that are bought in the stores. I was pleasantly mistaken. Maybe because our eggs are fresher (sometimes they are laid the day we cook them) or maybe the hens are more “free-ranging” than in larger commercial operations or maybe it is what we feed them. Regardless, the picture below shows the difference between a high-end store-bought organic free-range egg (left) and one of ours (right). Look at the color of the yolks…
