With the rising cost of grocery store eggs, families are desperate for an alternative. Like, desperate enough to steal 100,000 eggs from the back of a delivery truck, apparently. Or to find some questionable substitutes at Costco. 

Thankfully, many small farms and backyard producers in the area are offering a variety of options, from chicken to duck and even quail eggs. If you’re looking for farm-fresh eggs, here’s a list of local farmers and producers who can help:
