Thank you for making all of this information readily available. What are your top recommendations for locally produced eggs (apologies if this is already posted)? My main concern is the humane treatment of the animal. I've become disillusioned with the labels cage-free and free-range after finding out the range of practices that can carry these labels.
Joe's hens on his website look so healthy and happy. I'm definitely going to check him out. Any other sources you can suggest?
