I’ve been buying farm fresh eggs from my local farmers market for quite a few months now and they are so much better than the store bought. The lady I buy from changed the cost of her eggs at one point because she said something about “new layers” and the eggs were smaller than the first batches I bought. Still, small or large, great tasting eggs.

I will make a note to myself then that come spring 2009, I MUST buy some farm-fresh eggs. Can’t wait to try making more pasta with those!

Absolutely….production goes down with the reduction in daylight, but I think that the taste of the eggs also suffers a bit as green pasture (and its attendant activities) gives way to brown landscapes. There’s definitely something to the expression of a Spring Chicken (and egg) as that’s my favorite time of the year for both! (Cornish Cross meat birds, with their short growth timetables, have a tough time surviving even in Northern California’s winter cold without climate controlled facilities. And if you don’t have any pasture for them anyway…what would be the point?
