Illegal to Advertise Nest Run Eggs as "Fresh" or "Local"?

"Certified Organic" is another of those terms that have been co-opted by the industrial egg industry. It is expensive for a small person to get, it has rules like these you mention, inspections, paperwork, more trouble than it is worth. The marketing is effective, though. Our daughter, who has chickens, is coming for a visit next week. She wants us to buy her some "Organic" eggs -- she knows I do not pay for the organic feed for my flock, and she wants store eggs with the "certified organic" sticker. They have even convinced my kids that my eggs are not safe or good, without such a sticker!:rant
There is a loophole in the organic certification, if they can't get certain feed ingredients, they can get permission to substitute not organic ingredients. So, I do not want to pay such ridiculous prices for "Organic" chicken feed, when any time they can just substitute ingredients. But, I am not going to explain these legalities to our daughter, I am just going to get those magic store eggs for her.:rolleyes:

I like organic but I would take a back yard egg over organic any day.

Should my child make such a request, I would buy an organic carton to put my eggs in.

I have those used cartons, saved for me by my customers who prefer my eggs and only eat those store eggs when I run low. Not willing to try and trick her! If she does not want my eggs, no skin off my nose. Marketing is a powerful force, is what I am saying.

She is still young, at the age where the parents are very stupid and old fashioned. Sometimes they grow out of it, some never do! She got her college degree, very proud of it, we parents neither one graduated college, but paid her way on our union "working stiff wages"! She would not ever process one of her pet birds, and is pretty close to a vegetarian. :idunno Sometimes practicality and common sense are not common!
