We’re in the Catskills and many people raise their own hens then sell the eggs. We usually get them from either the lady who runs a local thrift store or from a neighbor. The price varies from $4-$5 per dozen.

These eggs are remarkable! Some of the shells are colorful and sometimes spotted with colored marks. They’re quite beautiful in their pastel shades. The yolks are incredibly bright yellow and seem larger than store-bought eggs. I’m not a huge egg fan but these are the best I’ve had and my wife is crazy about them.

There’s a duck farm nearby and those eggs are also very good but about twice the price of store-bought eggs.

Another DU poster recently moved to Costa Rica and she posted that the local eggs there were about $3.75 for FIVE dozen!
