I advertise early in the spring, on craigslist or free-cycle and have been lucky to buy fresh goose eggs and turkey eggs(as you see here). You can negotiate with the seller what price you will pay for a dozen eggs. Once you have established the contact, it is easy to make arrangements year after year, for purchasing their eggs.
IMPORTANT: I ask the sellers to simply rinse and store the eggs in the fridge until I arrive. One time a seller scrubbed the eggs clean with a Brillo pad! This could damage the cuticle of the egg and scratch the surface, spoiling it. So a gentle note to the seller is all that is needed.
DISCLAIMER: AS ALWAYS BE CAREFUL/CAUTIOUS WHEN BUYING OR TRADING ITEMS FROM CRAIGSLIST!

 A light scrub cleaned these eggs.  RECIPE FOR LIGHT STAINS |  Rinsing the eggs using a soft brush or soft toothbrush. RECIPE FOR LIGHT STAINS I place eggs in a clear sink of water a few at a time. Watch for air bubbles, this will lead you to a stress cracked shell. Using a soft toothbrush wash the egg with a paste of Baking Soda and Ivory Liquid. I mix this on the edge of the sink. Rinse the egg under clear running water. Finally give the egg a quick dip in a bath of white vinegar and water and then dry it again. I dry the eggs on a board, or a dish cloth, as you see in the header photo. |
 STUBBORN STAINS | RECIPE FOR STUBBORN STAINS Make a paste of Baking Soda, Ivory Liquid and Bleach PEN-Tablespoon of each. When I have a few eggs with stubborn stains. I leave this paste on the stain, and soak the eggs overnight in water. Do not agitate the eggs, but let them sit. In the morning, using the soft tooth brush, give it a good over-all scrub, rinse, vinegar wash and Voilà! the stain is gone! |
