Dennis @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ My idea is to just stop eating eggs in the winter for the most part, wait till they're back in season, and leave what the birds do lay for the farmer's family and for other people, who should be charged very high prices for them as Dennis suggests. This is my first winter eating seasonally and I still have some eggs I bought a few weeks ago that were still prime quality, but I've essentially given them up for the winter. Better this way then eating second-rate eggs and/or forcing the farmer to use second-rate feed. Maybe some logic in there about avoiding allergies from overexposure to individual foods, a secondary affirmation for this approach. Getting plenty of nutrition from organ meats this winter. Also wanted to make a quick comment about how long eggs can sit around because someone asked about it. I stopped refridgerated my eggs a long time ago and I've had eggs sit at fairly warm room temp for over a month and then eaten the yolks raw like usual. They always seemed fine, but the yolk can lose its firmness. So I would say don't worry about the length of time at all.
