Glinda I wish you lived near us

The 'rents won't drive to buy free-range local eggs (reasonable I guess) so the choice is supermarket ones, or local - caged - ones. I fall down on the side of the supermarket ones, all things considered. But I'd LOVE to get those pretty colours and still feel as if I was doing the right thing.
There is a supermarket that sells breed-specific eggs, but it's 8 miles away.
And plenty of local farms, but again within that kind of radius.
If I save an egg carton there's a teacher at school that is happy to pass on eggs from her own coop. I rejoice in that. But they are all brown anyway... How shallow am I?
