I’ve purchased them at Shaw’s (near BU), Whole Foods (Brighton), and Stop & Shop (Brookline & Brighton). They’re probably at many other locations, but these I can verify personally.

Where are these eggs to be found in the Boston area? (The website offers them shipped at $15/dozen, and Brookline and Brighton zip codes are not in their “stores” database.)

In resposne to the kosher certification of the Country Hen eggs: NFC has certified the eggs as organic for two years. At the initial application process for organic certification they requested kosher cert. NFC advised them we would not do so because there were no reasons to do so. Eventually, they “begged”- as other competitors have a kosher mark on them…we acquiesed, However, we do not charge for the service. We of course have verified their breed and stock, as this is part of the organic plan as well. If you have any questions, call us at 845 426 5098

In fact, on principle, I typically try to avoid eggs with any “kosher” certification at all. But these are especially good (and well cared-for) eggs.

Admit it, you’d secretly pay more for OU certified glatt eggs ;-)

If they get the “kosher” stamp as a free bonus to organic certification, that’s fine. But isn’t it still disingenuous for a rabbi to say that he can make eggs “kosher”?

The NFC also certifies items as organic. That is what the company is paying for. The NFC is a USDA Organic Certification agent and I believe one of the only kosher certification agencies (if not the only) to be so accredited.

They also have a vegan certification program.
