Hi,

Do you know where to get free-range eggs from local farms, preferably around Hillsborough? They don't have to be certified as such, but they must come from hens that are free to go outdoors. What I mean is, I would love to buy from some family who keep chickens at the bottom of their garden, or from a small farm or similar.

And how much can I expect to pay, do they tend to be more/less expensive than supermarket free-range eggs?

There's a sign advertising FR eggs on Studfield Road, off Wisewood road in Hillsborough, can't remember price, but cheaper than supermarket.

howdi! i always buy eggs from little farms and someone who i work with brings us eggs in everyweek from his chickens in his garden and they are absolutley beautifull you can't beat them (well actually you can:hihi:). The point when i get to is the other week we went away for the weekend and when we got back from the local tesco i was looking at the receipt and saw some eggs that had cost £2.16 for 6:rant: i nearly died my partner had grabbed then because i only eat free range but not looked at the price but............................................... ............... OH MY GOD they have to be the tastiest eggs i have eaten in years they were called big and fresh large free range. It was like been in heaven they are gorgeous they tasted like an egg and even rivaled the ones i get from the farms and friend at work, so people if you ever fancy a really tasty egg and dont mind paying a fortune these are a must. I have to admit i have not bought any since but thats because i don't have to with the free ones but when i do go shopping i might be very tempted:love:
