If you read my post about animal products, you’ll know that I’m a proponent of buying organic, pasture-raised, free-range, etc. I’m always looking for new information about different farms, local and otherwise, that offer these types of products. And I’m always looking for resources that make shopping easier and healthier for my clients and myself.  So you can imagine how happy I was to see this ‘Egg Scorecard,’ created by the Cornucopia Institute (http://www.cornucopia.org/organic-egg-scorecard/). Well, happy until I saw that my affordable organic, omega-3 eggs from Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s got the lowest rating. Oops.

We used to have hens, and therefore had our own fresh, organic eggs. But since a neighborhood critter made a meal out of them, we’ve been buying eggs. The scorecard has changed the way I look at (and purchase) eggs. I am spending a little more, but I feel like it’s worth it to be getting a high quality product from a farm I trust. Check out the scorecard criteria (link on the page listed above)…pretty impressive.

Have an eggseptional day! Groan…sorry, couldn’t help it.
