Thank you for this advice.

Many cultures do not refrigerate their household eggs. It all depends on where they are purchased.

I am fortunate to live among the Amish population, many of whom are in the chicken/egg business. I never knew how a good egg tasted until obtaining them from an Amish farm and will never purchase eggs again from a grocery store.

Although government regulations are in place and their farms are inspected, it is permissable by law for the Amish to sell their eggs wholesale to independently owned stores/markets but not to big-named corporate chain stores.
