        <content>I have been craving good eggs since trying one of Terry Golson's hard-boiled eggs at a reading of The Farmstead Egg Cookbook.  Does anyone know where I could buy pasture-raised eggs in the Boston/Cambridge area?  I figure probably they are available at one of the farmer's markets, but I don't have time to go to all of them to figure out which one. 

Grass-fed beef and other small-farm meat recommendations would also be great. 

Thanks!</content>

      <content>Don't know about pasture fed, but you can get farm fresh eggs at Chip-in Farm in Bedford (http://www.chip-infarm.com/). They're really good and are produced on site :-). A real bargain too, &lt;$2/dozen. The only problem is that you have to wait several days before making hard-boiled eggs or you'll never be able to peel them.

They also stock fresh glass-bottle milk (from Shaw Farm in Dracut) at much lower prices than other places (Wilson Farms for example), about $4.50/gal.</content>

      <content>You can also buy Chip-In eggs at Russo's.  That's what we buy outside of farmers market season, but this time of year, we buy our eggs from Johnson's Farms at the Brookline Farmers Market on Thursday afternoons.  And, handily enough, River Rock Farms sells there too, just a few stalls over!

If you've never been to the Brookline Farmers Market: it's in Coolidge Corner, in an overflow parking lot directly behind the Coolidge Theater.</content>
