I wish Smith Bros would offer a *true* organic, humane, and pastured egg option. Stiebrs is OK but certainly not that, though the price they charge for a dozen seems to reflect it. I know that these hens fare better than their non-organically raised sisters at Stiebrs, but there's not really any detectable difference in taste, texture or yolk color between these and the non-organics. They are brown, rather than white shelled. We've tried these numerous times over the past 3 years and no matter the time of years, the yolks are pale yellow like any average supermarket egg. We feel these are overpriced for the product delivered really only order these when we've run out of eggs otherwise as a stop-gap. We've bought from other, highly-scored brands and buy from backyard growers we know whenever possible during laying months, and these Stiebrs eggs are simply a very far cry from those.
Please, Smith Bros...
Offer a good pastured option if you're able to.
