Yesterday at the local Kroger's store I saw they had certified organic Eggland's Best™ eggs on sale for the stupid low price of 99¢ a dozen. So I bought a dozen, not to eat but to show the huge difference between what we raise-pastured hens fed certified Organic soy based feed plus all the leafy greens, berries, insects, seeds, etc they can get their little beaks on

| Eggland's Best vs Boulder Belt Eco-Farm. Notice we reuse cartons and do not spend money for fancy plastic cartons and a label, a couple of sustainability points for BBEF! |
 |
| Eggland's Best™ eggs and Boulder Belt Eco-Farm eggs in their cartons. Not much difference other than ours are unsized and tend to be extra large to jumbo and all the EB's eggs are large to medium. Oh and all EB eggs are stamped with their logo. So from the outside there doesn't seem to be much difference. I will assume we are both using golden comets for layers |
 |
| But crack the eggs open and we see a world of difference. the pale egg with the runny white is the EB egg; the deep orange egg with the white that has structure is the Boulder Belt Eco-Farm Egg. Why pay $4.09 for a pale egg, devoid of much nutrition (despite the claims on the carton, I wonder how often they test their eggs to make sure their claims hold water?) when fpor a buck more you can get a dozen eggs that really are what they say they are? |

As we can see the BBEF eggs are clearly better and when you cook with them and eat the resulting food there is no doubt you have found a truly great egg
(Edit-8-17-13) I was at the local Kroger store today and saw Eggland's Best Organic brown eggs for $4.09. That is not even a dollar less than what we charge for obviously superior eggs
