Yeah, some "organic" eggs are not even high quality eggs since the birds aren't pastured properly. People can totally tell the difference because of how the yolks look and taste with pastured birds.We are in North Carolina and have no problem selling eggs at seven to $10 a dozen and our hens are not typically fed organically. We don’t false advertise at all, and claim for hens to be fed organically, but I will tell you we have around 200 to 300 hens on a 3 acre pasture and rotate them out onto other pastures regularly
That was the kicker, that farm that was being dishonest had terrible eggs since they weren't rotating pasture enough. The co-op told me that when our small collective eggs are there, no one will buy the big farm eggs until all of ours are gone. It took me weeks before I had seen what the head woman did for labeling because 20 dozen would be bought up before the afternoon when I could get there.
