Where do you buy/get your eggs

Member Removed

Where do you get your eggs, the reason I ask is I get mine from my neighbour, we do swaps I give her potatoes, Tomatoes, peas, sweetcorn plus other vegetables out of my garden & she gives me duck & chicken eggs from her ducks/chickens.
I was looking at the eggs in the supermarkets, was amazed by the false advertising & misleading writing on the boxes, one box says free range eggs but have since found out that the chickens are kept indoors in a large barn, yes they are free to roam but they never see day light, so to me that is false advertising & they are not free range at all.
FREE RANGE TO ME IS CHICKENS & DUCKS ARE FREE TO ROAM OUTSIDE NOT FREE TO ROAM IN A BARN.
So where do you buy/get your eggs from ?

It´s like we are back in the good old days were you swap things for things you need, my neighbour live on her own & supermarkets charge the earth, for prepacked veg for one person, so we do swaps I have fresh eggs & neighbour gets fresh veg.

I sometimes buy from the supermarket but try to avoid this if possible. Our local village post office sells free range eggs and I sometimes buy those, or there are a couple of people with their own chickens and I buy from them whenever I can. Sounds like a good little system you´ve got going with your neighbour Tina.
