organic or locally-grown white eggs ?

[i-leonardo.livejournal.com]

i'm having no joy finding organic or locally-grown white eggs, can anybody point me in the right direction ?  the white eggs at the local stores all seem to be industrially farmed and, my pangs of first-world yuppie guilt about battery farming entirely aside, the shells are so fragile they break if i look at them funny.  speaking of which, pointers to a decent optometrist wouldn't suck, either (but the eggs are more important).

thanks!

I don't think they sell white eggs, though. Most local eggs in Massachusetts are going to be brown eggs, because those breeds of chicken are the most popular. (Though I bought some local eggs out in Hubbardston recently--not from Country Hen, but random yard-hen eggs from a farm stand--and four of the dozen were beautiful pale-turquoise Araucana eggs.)
