I only buy free range on principle. Plus they do taste much better.

We have a few local farms in the area that sell free range eggs. You can see the chickens out in the pasture.  Dh and I have been buying these eggs for several years now.  It's hard to go back to regular grocery store eggs. 

 I agree they are so much better!

Free range is not organic but I agree they are better tasting and better quality.

While I live rural and both are a LOT cheaper from a local farm than the grocery, try your local farmer's market as a source for less expensive eggs. 

Eggs actually have a coding on their container at the grocery so you'll know how old the eggs are you're buying.

I only buy free range.  

Just an FYI, cage free is not the same as free range.  Buy free range.

We eat free range eggs and meats that are organic and without growth hormones or antibiotics from local farms and farmers within a 100 mile range that participate in our farmers' markets.  We love the tastes, richness, and textures. The fruits and vegetables that are fantastic although not perfect as they are supermarkets.  The food is expensive but we value the work of our small farmers and the hard work each family undertakes to keep these national treasures open.  It's nice to talk with them, share in there lives, and the community that emerges out of these transactions.  One of our farmers writes the best newsletters monthly and also invites customers out to the farm for food, hayrides, and fun twice a year.  Love the Kerrygold butter also.  Bon appetit!

Our friend raises chickens on their property. We get our eggs from them. No more grocery store eggs for me.

I can tell a difference in free range eggs. They really do taste so much better. I either buy those or buy from a local farmer.

Free range doesn’t mean they aren’t organic.  The kind I get are both.
