Yall need to find folks like me, who sell our organic raised eggs. My neighbors SEE me & my hubby caring for our chickens. They know they can text me to bring their grandkids to see the new baby chicks & even feed the hens treats from our garden. Store bought eggs just can't measure up to people who you meet & get to see them raising your food. Best part, we literally don't make money, we keep our cost down to just break even. God is good to provide. (We often put out baskets of organic veggies from our garden for free too.) Again, God provides, so bless others with your blessings!!
I agree and commend you! What I can't get a straight answer on is why eggs in the U.S. don't have the carrot orange yolks that the eggs in Europe have?? I mean seriously carrot, almost RED, yolks?? My cousin in Scotland said it's because "You yanks don't have corn!" Yeah....he's always drunk. I just can't get the European yolks no matter what, and I do buy from a local guy so......anything?? Thank you
I have chickens. I love my little girls. I also have bees. And I grow a lot and preserve a lot. And I'm blessed to live in a province in Canada where there's a lot of wild berries. So I preserve a lot. And me and my partner hunt. But what I understand is that is an extremely privileged position. That people live in the city. Can't do that. Also, I have to politely disagree that God provides. Because of God provided there wouldn't be 13 million starving children in the United States. And 1.8 million starving children in Canada. Between our two beautiful successful plentiful bountiful christian nations, there are almost 16 million children starving. So I'd have to say as sweet of a sentiment is God will provide is it doesn't wash out in reality.
I bought 4 chicks at tractor supply last year and learned how to raise/care for them. Now my 4 ladies lay 4 to 5 eggs a day, and they roam free in the backyard. Best eggs I've ever had!
@RonnieDellarsina they go into their coop at night (electronic door and thick plywood). Plus, I have 2 doggo argentino dogs that co-exist with the hens. They'll make quick work out of any predator.
Do you have a Costco membership or a Sam's Club membership? You can definitely afford them if so. Costco sells a 24-pk of organic, pasture-raised eggs for 8.99! You can eat healthier, you just got to look in the right places and Bobby does an excellent job of showing where to buy from for cheap!
@@tonypoo-zm7kcwhats waiting for them in Republican states? Bunch of hillbillies telling them “its their fault they didnt pick up a 3rd job.” And now they dont even have food stamps 😂 what a joke. Might as well stay in the democrat states where they have safety nets when you fall on hard times and dont just blame you for not working a 4th job and only sleeping 2 hours like a good slave, i mean uh “republican”
I agree. We have 42 chickens and 23 ducks that roam around our 5 acres. We sell our eggs only for feed; we make no profit. Our customers thank us for these beautiful, healthy eggs.
In Finland ORGANIC EGGS mean pretty much same as what you said pasture-raised are: - more space - natural daylight (windows) - 24/7 access outside yard, can peck and search own food like worms and insects. - more space to perch and lay eggs
I've come to the point in my life that I'm willing to pay more for certain things and the better eggs are worth it. I knew someone who had chickens that lived free in the pasture and those eggs were the best. A true difference in taste and color.
Yup. More ppl need to look into this as "investing in yourself". Though some actually can't afford it the one that just can settle for less unfortunately.
I do not eat eggs but buy eggs for my family. When I saw a documentary on how chickens raised in warehouses are treated I cannot support that; so I spend the extra money to buy a healthier egg for my family.
I was in my 30’s before I ever had fresh eggs. The difference is night and day compared to store-bought eggs. The yolks are so much firmer and darker and the taste is so much better.
Those are the same eggs I’ve bought for years. My mind frame is this: cut out/let go of buying all the bagged and boxed crackers, chips, cookies, dried fruits, and junk foods, spend your money on higher quality single ingredient foods, and focus on maximizing the ways you can use a more simplified grocery list.💗
Right! Also, how many people complain about the price of pasture raised chicken eggs, yet pay close to the same amount of money for a big bag of chips, cookies or other unhealthy fast "food"?
I mostly just shop the outside of the market. About the only reason I go down the isles is for coffee and tea. The rest is convenience which you pay out the nose for and generally over-processed.
@@woolgathrrThey can be very healthy, but sometimes if you don’t read the labels they contain sugars, and also eating too much can produce a high sugar content. I think the real deal is a safer bet, plus dentists recommend to stay away as the stickiness is quite harsh. I personally can’t do dried after having braces, but totally get if others enjoy it💗
I usually buy the brand you picked up. I did not know all the nuances prior to this video, but I could already tell how better looking and tasting these eggs are.Thank you! ❤
Chickens roaming free around the property is one of the best organic ways to get rid of pesky bugs. If we can make our food supply organic that would get rid of so many health problems and is better for the planet. Win win. Organic farming is harder but worth it. I’ve worked on organic farms for almost a decade, I refused to work on non organic. It’s much harder work, the rewards are greater and I sleep better at night knowing I’m helping others and the earth.
@@AbbieeTube u don’t need a male around for the hens to make eggs. They do best with a rooster around. We let the males grow up and we ate them. I agree the egg industry is horrible to male chicks. Throwing them away alive, entire trash bins full of living chicks who die of suffocation.
Bobby, I want to thank you so much for the education you are giving me and so many others for free! Bless you!! It means so to me to be learning about all these foods and all these things we need to look out for. I wish I knew this 50 years ago!!
I love that brand of eggs! One time I purchased this brand and for some odd reason they were off somehow. My dog would even eat them. So I contacted the company to let them know. Soon after my phone call I had someone at my door delivering eggs and butter from this company, I was shocked. I haven’t seen customer service like this in many years.
Yeah, we have to be really healthy in this environment of wealth transference that way we can go into poverty with a strong back for them to really f us over real good!!
Yeah, we definitely need to stay healthy for them to still the wealth of the middle-class wealth transference that way we don’t go into poverty totally screwed!
What I like is having fresh eggs bc we decided 2yrs ago to get some chickens, & after incubating, we had 14 hatch, & the hens started laying last spring. There's a huge difference between them & eggs from the store. They lay in different colors: some light brown, light blue/speckled, dark brown, & white. If you can have chickens, consider getting them. Grow sunflowers to supplement their diets, too. God bless✝️
This is why I LOVE having chickens! The eggs are so much better because the animals actually live happy lives. We give away our extra eggs and sometimes have a waiting list. Lol. And I love my girls! They are so much fun to watch running around the yard. I keep them as pets until they die of old age, but always have enough young ones for plenty of eggs. : ) of course it's more expensive in the long run, but to me it's worth it having one reliable food source that is treating humanely, and I get to share with others. 😊
@AbbieeTube I don't have a rooster. So none of my girls' eggs are fertilized. No eggs to hatch out, no male or female chicks. I buy already hatched female chicks from a reputable hatchery with a 99% sex accuracy guarantee. Haven't had any unwanted male chicks from them. But if I ever did I would probably just keep them separate (I have 2 coops) as pets, unless they turn aggressive. My female chickens are kept as pets until they die of old age. They give me a lifetime of eggs, I give them a happy retirement. : ) But I would never again house a rooster with my female chickens. Mine are much happier without a rooster bullying them around. I know others have had roosters they like, mine was not one of them. I'm sure chicken owners that hatch out their eggs are left with unwanted males, but I avoid that problem altogether by buying sexed chicks. Hope that answers your question. : )
@paullowell3342 I protect my chickens an they behave fine without a rooster "keeping them in line." I've had chickens for a decade. Plenty of eggs, no major predator problems that I can't handle. Nope. Don't need rooster.
Buy them from your local homesteader!!!! We appreciate the business and it helps the community to develop relationships for being less dependent on the big corporations.
@@talhaahmed2130farmers market near you meets at least once or twice a week in some areas! Making friends at the farmers market is the best the farmers are always so nice and a lot are local homesteaders etc great because everyone is trying to out healthy each other when raising their eggs fruits etc because they want your dollar have fun!
Drive out to the country you will sometimes see a sign near someone farmhouse “eggs for sale” you can then tell them you would like some jf their chicken egfs
Bought some from a local produce shop. Am a granny, tight budget. But was very suprised to get the local CalPoly large eggs, the taste reminded me of childhood rural area eggs. We got ours from a store then. But the nutrition, freshness was superior anr have not experienced thid 'healthy' taste in many years. And yes, have been shopping for organic and cage free different brands. Certain food items I will spend up on, splurge on because of the much higher food quality. A few days ago, I made another special trip. These eggs cook up better and allow a higher quality taste to baked goods. My daughter thought I was a bit nuts until I sent her home a dozen eggs. Did she and the grandkids 'perk up' on how much better the eggs are and enjoy the food connection to their grannys childhood. Real, fresh eggs do make a difference.
I do think there is massive variation in the quality of all free range eggs though. I've noticed free range tesco/asda eggs are pale and crap, whereas the free range eggs from my garden centre are delicious, deep orange yolks and less gelatinous.
No, no it doesnt. In England there is a trick with eggs and chickens. To legally call them free range their must be an open door on the back of the chicken's cage so it can theoretically range freely. However thats not really what happens, the chickens are so over fed, they are unable to stand up and walk away from their cages to wander around, they will spend their entire lives in cages just like the cheaper eggs/chicken. The only place you're really going to get actual free range chicken eggs is from a very expensive supermarket like Waitrose or a farm shop. Most people dont know this and just over pay at the supermarket for essentially the same product.
yep! when I introduced eggs back in my diet, I wanted to be mindful of the types of eggs I was picking up. I now get organic pasture raised. Price sometimes hurt, but I feel it's nutritiously worth it.
@@jeremiah4267No, she won’t because I’ve seen, tasted, and experienced the difference. The cheap eggs is all they are-cheap… in price AND nutrition-> the shells are thinner, the yolks are a pale yellow, the taste is bland to none, and the actual nutrition is questionable COMPARED TO PASTURE-Raised chicken eggs whose shells are thicker & harder to crack because the chickens are that much healthier, and the yolks are not a pale yellow but a deep almost orange color, and they taste better. Is it worth the extra cost? Absolutely. It seems evident that cheap factory caged industrial raised chickens and eggs make us more susceptible to high cholesterol, and to whatever recycled waste products such chickens are fed-why do you think such chicken eggs are cheaper? They’re cheaper alright but you put your life at risk, and that’s the actual high cost you pay after buying el cheapo eggo’s.
Those are good but try to find some neighbors with chickens. I have found some organic food is more satisfying so it doesn't cost as much as it looks like.
Why have I never heard this??? Thank you!!!! Noted ✅️ Will only be buying pasture raised, always bought organic free-range-thought that meant outside. Thanks again! 💜
Yep, many have been mislead to believe the same. I’ve been buying pasture raised for the past few years and the taste is so much better. Even if it’s 50-60 cents per egg, that’s actually pretty cheap when you think about it. Just compare that to how much it costs to otherwise eat out. Always think in terms of cost per serving, not sticker price.
We are experiencing “JustInflation” here in Canada as a result we must all do what we can to exit Trudeau! #TrudeauMustGo! Then just maybe we can afford your selected choice of eggs, otherwise any egg is just as good for now! 😂. Eggs here are running $10 for a dozen!

When I traveled to Panama for the first time, I had noticed that nearly everyone with a house had their own hens and roosters. Buying newborn chicks at the local cooperative is extremely common.
@@recinese even pasture raised is a marketing ploy. That's why I look for the certified humane seal, that's when the free range/pasture raised is actually what they say it is.
Here's an idea: instead of guilting individual consumers into paying double or triple what they pay for eggs, why not lobby the government to establish better standards across the board?
Because lobbying against big producers would be like rolling an impossibly large boulder up an incredibly steep hill. They will happily spend more money to keep their costs low when you have nothing to gain except "the greater good". It sounds good in theory but will be very difficult to execute in practice. There are far more factors at play and the incompetent government plays a big part in it.
This is so true. I lived in Petaluma, CA which is the egg capital of the world and it shocked me when I moved to LA and now Dallas and saw how bad eggs can be. Always go for the pasture raised!
I lived in Santa Rosa (til my house burned down in the wildfire).. I had a problem w eggs making me really gassy/bloated. I started buying Judy's Family Farm eggs. Problem stopped. In S.Calif now. I buy the cheap eggs for baking baked goods & the $8 eggs for eating. It makes a difference. I really miss Sonoma County.
Yes pasture raised is definitely the best, you can see and taste the difference in the yolk…only problem is the price. A dozen of that brand (in California) is 10.99! Your best bet is to find a local farmer and try and get pasture raised at a lower cost. Or raise your own chickens.
You'll pay the cost later in medical bills and in the way you limit your mental ability. Nutrition is key. If you have room in your budget for fun, or unnecessary vices, thst should instead be spent on your nutrition.
@@leonfrancis3418 Do you think getting cheap eggs is going to cause health problems? Please cite the studies that indicate pasture raised eggs make a difference in overall health.
@@dawnt5587 As if citing studies would make a difference anyway. You'd just find an excuse to discredit them.But if you really want to know ( which I doubt) check the 2010 study conducted at Penn State College of Agricultural Research.
@ScaredOfPlasticBags Admit to buying Vital Farms cuz of pasture-raised. Admit being sucker for the colorful pkg w story.High price sucks-but we have our priorities
Vital Farms are 11-12 bucks for a dozen eggs where I live now. Idc how good the eggs are, I'm not paying that much. There's no reason for prices that high even with inflation.
I shall not buy them also. I once switched to Pasture Raised and there was a little blood in the yolk. They don't seem as safe to me, and with good reason, despite people claiming there will be a little bit of the embryo remaining and that it's normal if it looks a little weird. I cannot pay $12 for a dozen small eggs that look weird and yet another sick stomach.🤢
Actually according to the FDA Free-range: Birds must be able to go outdoors for at least 6 hours a day. Each hen must have access to 2 square feet of outdoor space, which does not need to have growing vegetation. If they are American Humane Certified Free-range certification: Each bird has access to 21.8 square feet of outdoor space.
@@back_to_the_figures1886 Either option is still better than caged though. Sometimes we have to make compromises based on income. I choose cage-free as a middle ground for what I can afford.
Thank you, I was hoping someone would post this. Pasture raised are definitely the gold standard, but he is completely incorrect that the other classifications mean nothing.
I do security for an old age residence and when I mention videos like this they respond with “nonsense, I’m 93 and I smoked drank and ate what I wanted, everything in moderation” and this isn’t just one. I dare anyone to ask someone they know over 80 if they knew what was in their food before eating it.
Exactly, it's all hogwash!! I just commented with same thing. But people gullible and will believe anything...😅😂😅. We did fine, I'm 69, my mom 90 and healthy, thank God.
How do you know they aren't using "pasture-raised" as the marketing term itself? Nothing is stopping the companies from putting any label they see fit.
Eat what you can afford and pray that God blesses it before you eat and thank him for it in Jesus Mighty powerful name Amen and I just Truly Love that Blondie song The Tide is high thanks for the info GOD BLESS
I used to be very stringent on my organic and locally raised diet… Even for my kids I was pretty picky but now that I have four and the economy is crap, I’ve had to make compromises and do a lot of research about what to buy that’s still good, but not as amazing as what we were eating before . We are still eating better than most of our friends because I cook most of the time and we don’t go out to eat and we focus on quality not quantity And where we just can’t afford something organic or like we used to we just pray over it like you say, and ask God to watch over us and bless us …. Jesus knows what we’re going through right now and what’s going on he can watch over our bodies. We can’t control everything that’s going on in our country right now. You do your best and leave the rest to God .
That’s not true in the UK. Free range means the chickens range freely throughout the farmyard. Barn eggs are from chickens roaming about inside the barn - all as the name suggests!!
Winters are long, very cold and dark in our neck of the woods; no grass or bugs for 7-8 months. You’d end up with ‘popsicle’ chickens that freeze solid if left outside.
They naturally return to their shelter to roost at night and there are many breeds suited to the cold, short days of northern climates. People in Fairbanks keep chickens for eggs -- not as easily as warmer climes, but doable if it's of value to them. I had chickens in Anchorage and I have them now in the Cascades of Washington.
@@teslinjoe5938 yes indeed. I am currently in Alaska and 2 of my 4 birds laying eggs all winter no extra heat or light. Best eggs and sweet friendly girls to love and keep my home happy.
"Vital Farms hens enjoy fresh air and sunshine in a region of the U.S. we call the Pasture Belt. Each of our small family farms thrives in this region, those warmer-weather states where the winters are mild, and the girls can nosh on native grasses year-round. Because we prefer to raise winter layers, not wear them"
My husband and I tried them for the first time a couple weeks ago. Such a difference and so cheap at Aldi. More than $2 cheaper than my local grocery store.
In UK Free-range eggs have come from birds that, during the daytime, enjoy unlimited access to outdoor pastures. At night, free-range hens are housed in barns which keep them safe . 🇬🇧 UK
If you are worried about the cost grocery outlet tends to have them for like 2.99. Ive tried them from there and the eggs were still fresh and tasty with great color. Grocery outlet get these items based on their availability but they do a great job at having them frequently so if you dont see them there don't give up. Buy a few cartons when you do.
Appreciate you brethren really do ,I've learned Alot from you ,I live in a small very beautiful Islands 🏝 in the Caribbean and times have changed, Blessings too you
These eggs are a whole different level of egg compared to normal eggs. Seriously, they're bigger, the yolk is richer, it doesn't burn as fast, and it's obviously healthier and packed with more benefits. Well worth the asking price if you like eggs.
That black carton is amazing! We buy them when our pasture raised eggs aren’t laying. Same dark orange color and vibrant flavor. Even my boys hate the taste of other eggs after being raised with the dark orange yokes.
The yolk colour doesn't depend on whether the chicken lived in a cage or pasture. It depends 100% on the type of carotenoids in the chicken feed. You can get pale yellow yolks in pasture raised eggs if the grass they eat is lighter green in colour. And you can get bright orange yolk in cage eggs if the feed contains darker carotenoids.
I watch you channel and have your app , its helped me to learn a lot But Unfortunately foods you recommend pricey are not affordable for me so I pick and choose between healthy and unhealthy items.
I'm the same way so you're not alone in simply trying to make the most educated choices within my budget. As to me, I tend to put more weight on treatment of the animals than whether a product is nonGMO, etc. So I don't pay extra to buy all organic fruits and vegetables, but I spend a little extra for pasture raised eggs and beef. Like you, I do the best I can within my budget, but try not to worry about everything too much.
Regular eggs are still better for you than a lot of the other crap that is "Bobby Approved." He focuses far too much on processed food. I don't care how "clean" the ingredients are, there's WAY too much on his channel that comes from a factory and not a farm or field.
