I went to a local farm shop but they just stocked the more well known free range ones. (Lakes and Happy Eggs).
In fact most of the stuff they sold just seemed to be stuff you could get elsewhere rather than home grown so to speak.
I will have to have a hunt round. I was in Cornwall last year and bought a dozen from a small shop, forget the brand, and they were great.

I am not averse to the mud and have a large free range egg farm in spitting distance but I don't rate them either.
I have just found this year its all gone very tasteless dont know if its the weather or perhaps the farms are using cheaper feed due to Brexit I dunno. I will hunt down some from a back yard type place.

F*** me that was expensive. Farm shop visit done.. £100 lighter! Eggs were £1.60 of that. Unstamped so no idea what they are and just a big basket of them! Full report tomorrow 
I also now have a kitchen full of jam, honey, cake, pork pies, some local gin of some description, various types of sausages and about a months worth of bacon, you can never have enough bacon.

Egg report incoming!
So they were pretty decent (was hoping to say eggcellent…. but alas not quite that good) , not the best I have ever had but defiantly better than what the supermarkets have been dishing out the last year or so. I am still convinced something has changed meaning the birds are being fed something different.
I eat probably at least 6 eggs a week, if not more than that so I have noticed a change, very little taste and very runny white with pale yolk.
These had a good taste and the white was firm and I will try poaching some when I next get some more as that's usually a good test.
I also have some M&S white shelled eggs to try just for comparison.
The farm shop I went too was clearly selling bought in produce (cheese, meat etc) but I got the feeling the veg and the eggs were very local. The veg was covered in soil and not trimmed and eggs were "pick and mix" out of a giant basket.
