All-Things Eggs
There’s lots to consider when buying eggs. What does “humanely raised” mean, exactly, and are free-range eggs actually worth the extra cost?
As it turns out, there are many misleading claims on egg cartons. On today’s short and sweet episode I’m answering listener Lauren’s question about intentional egg purchasing. My goal is to arm you with facts – not marketing gimmicks! – so that you can confidently spend in ways aligned with your values the next time you’re at your farmer’s market or grocery store.

Hi Stephanie –
I am a septuagenarian with minimal cyber skills. Sorry, I couldn’t find how to give you a thumbs up or a review. I did enjoy this discussion of eggs, and I’m glad to see that I basically buy my eggs from the farmers market, or from the same farmers, who supply our small organic grocery store.
Correction to my previous comment: “glad to say” (not “see”) !
