If I want to buy eggs, I can either go to the village store and buy them there (choice of locally farmed, or cheap and cruel)... or, I just walk up Upper Lane and buy them from the little farm there. If you just want to buy a few for the day, there's a basket of eggs and a pot for coins. It's done on the honour system (couldn't do that in an urban setting I suspect). If you want to buy half a dozen or more, then you just knock on the kitchen door.
