Thanks--that's really helpful. It was great meeting you too!

I'll throw another question out there now on this subject for anyone that can help. Our pediatrician told us that for a 12-year old to give up both dairy and eggs was really not very safe. She said eggs were the most concentrated form of protein, and if she ate an egg or two a day, plus plenty of fruits and vegetables, she'd be fine. So I convinced my daughter to eat an egg or two a day if we can get them from some local farmer. My wife also suggested that we might be able to find a farm that delivers dairy and eggs.

So, does anyone know of a farm within 10-15 miles of Worcester (or as close as possible) that sells or delivers locally grown eggs?

JoeTaco, you are a lifesaver. Those eggs are at the Big Y two minutes from me, and those are perfect. Thanks a million.

I went to Living Earth and got the Country Hen eggs. It has to be humane, for her, and we checked out the website together and were satisfied with what we saw. They are also open for visits, so we will stop up there as well. She ate her first egg tonight, so I'm happy . . .

I've never been to the blue plate. Too high brow for me.
