I have 4 dozen eggs gathered in the last 4 days. Free pickup in town tomorrow morning. DM for a price.
We purchased our chicks 5 months ago. It takes time to get laying hens. But here we are!
Walmart will give you a used by date. And that always struck me as comforting.
But you know what I remember from the first conscientious farmer I bought eggs from?
"These were gathered yesterday."
Thr box store never told me that. And that made me pause.
I've never been what you call crunchy.
But what a mind set shift that has been for me. Let's not ask "how long will my fridge keep it before borderline spoilage", but "how fresh can I get it." (Which, funny enough, does mean it will keep longer.)
