Fri Sep 18 16:45:05 -0700 2009 250932 Joshg6 1 5040938 Where in the North Bay. I got places in Sebastopol, Napa and Sonoma.

However, I haven't stopped there yet so don't know if they are pastured. Give them a call to ask when they are open. I'm sure some of the SR farmers markets might sell some, but hopefully someone else be able to answer that. Mon Sep 21 10:27:37 -0700 2009 5045974 10264 rworange 1 5042111 Marin Sun Farms has a list of places that carry their stuff. Call first to see if they have eggs before going a long way out of your way. http://www.marinsunfarms.com/about/places_to_buy.html Sat Sep 19 10:24:41 -0700 2009 5040849 11369 Robert Lauriston 2 5042355 Marin Sun Farms also sells their eggs at the Civic Center farmer's market on Sundays, if you don't want to drive out to Point Reyes. They can sell out quickly, particularly in winter when egg production slows way down, so I recommend going early.

They're not in the portable chicken tractors like larger pastured egg producers. Join us at the picnic on October 3, 2009, http://www.chow.com/san_francisco_bay_area_digest/8194 Mon Sep 21 10:35:09 -0700 2009 5040849 10039 Melanie Wong 2 5058252 Thanks for the tip. Grandma's PP is very close to work. Got some last night and they were good, but not outstanding. Must have already taken them out of pasture. Look forward to trying them again though. Fri Sep 25 11:32:00 -0700 2009 5046221 250932 Joshg6 3 5059054 Good, but not outstanding is my take as well for Grandma's eggs. Hector's were fantastic but they cost a lot more and are not as convenient for me to purchase. I'll stop by Grandma's to drop off cartons and pick up some eggs on my way home tonite. One of the interesting things is that I had asked Grandpa about seasonality, and he said that his hens don't slow down that much in winter. I'll want to try them after the pumpkin patch comes down and see what the winter eggs taste like. Fri Sep 25 17:32:35 -0700 2009 5058252 10039 Melanie Wong
