That's $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.

Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

The terms "cage free" and "free range" are near meaningless on an industrial scale. The chickens are still packed in as tightly as regulations allow.

As for smaller producers, I don't know. It sounds like bird flu is about as contagious as is possible.

This is why I like "pasture raised" as that term has regulatory teeth behind it, at least when I researched it
