Does anyone know of a farmer's market selling eggs in the area through a farmer's market or just privately? I am particularly partial to blue, green or pink ones.
Central Square (Mondays) has eggs brought in from Belchertown, but they sell out fairly early so I haven't seen them. Chip-in Farm in Bedford is selling in more and more local groceries recently.
The BEST place, though, is to go to Drumlin Farm, an Audubon Sanctuary in Lincoln (a nice bike ride or 1/3 miles from the Commuter Rail) and they have eggs at the place where you pay the entrance fee. They keep them in a little mini-fridge under their computer. Don't remember the price, but they have all the fun shapes and colors. And, you can see the chickens yourself. They are about as happy as a chicken could get.
(they also have a chest freezer full of cuts of lamb and pork - also easily viewed having fun on the farm) You may want to call them up to make sure they have eggs.
