Free Range Blue & Brown Heritage Eggs
These eggs are a significant step up from standard supermarket options due to the use of heritage breeds (Speckledy and Copper Maran) which produce richer yolks and stronger shells. While they offer much more outdoor space than 'Cage-Free' alternatives, they are labeled 'Free Range' rather than 'Pasture-Raised,' meaning they may not strictly meet the 108 sq. ft. per bird gold standard. The premium price is partially attributed to the aesthetic blue and chocolate-brown shells rather than a superior nutrient density over standard pasture-raised brands.
