Major grocery stores are selling eggs 4.69/dozen AA large eggs, 6.79 organic. Interestingly the "crunchy" super-market that mostly sources from local and/or organic farms is selling normal eggs for 3.99/dozen and organic for 4.99 and 5.99 depending on the brand. Before bird-flu the crunchy store would sell eggs 1-2 dollars more per dozen than major supermarkets. The price at the crunchy store has remained static since before bird-flu. I live in an area with a relatively large number of "small" farms independent from large ag companies.
