Anybody sell them? They are too expensive to buy in the shops, but they are far superior to cage farmed ones.

Cambridge has a great farmers market every Saturday morning too. I'm pretty sure someone there would have them.

What area do you live in? We live in Matangi, but have seen a couple of houses with signs out for $4 a dozen, which is probably the cheapest anyone will ever find. Otherwise, I think the prices you would pay at a Farmers market would be very similar to the supermarket prices.

Gosh - did any of you see the egg programme on TV last week. . some 'free range' or 'barn' eggs are able to be called that, though the hens are kept in a barn, able to go outside, except because they're fed inside they rarely go out. Eggs are sometimes 'injected' with dye too, to make the yolk more yellow!
I was astonished. . the man being interviewed (didn't catch where he was from - maybe a poultry marketing board or similar? ? ) said the dye is used 'because customers tell us that's what they want - a good colour yolk! ' Can't see that any customer would want dye injected into eggs!

Maxwell - there's a farmer's market in the large carpark on River Road - there are lots of trees in the carpark - and it's near the Claudelands Bridge. . is there another one at weekends off Collingwood? Thanks for info.

There used to be when we lived there (1. 5 years ago) so I am going off memory where it used to be. . I didn't know about the river road one? so perhaps they have moved it to there?

a friend of mine sells free range eggs at a farmers market, , we have a great laugh as he buys the eggs from a caged chicken farmand then tells every one they are free range. . 80% of so called free range eggs are not free range at all.

The Farmer's Market shifted from Collingwood St to the Sonning car park on River Rd because they were running out of room I believe.

I've seen articles about people doing that - I don't call it 'a great laugh' - I call it not selling what he's claiming to sell - which is fraud.
