Find farmers. My wife looks on all the social media stuff that I won't do, and there are always farmers advertising their farm fresh eggs. If she can't find something we need she goes on a fakebook group for our local neighborhood, or on the marketplace and just asks for stuff. Last time we asked for eggs we had at least 6 farmers in my area respond and I ended up buying 6 dozen eggs. A lot of people raising chickens end up with more eggs than they need and might not even realize they could sell them.
By the way - this isn't just for buying stuff. Our HVAC went out during a very cold spell and we had my infant granddaughter in our house so we obviously needed more heat than the fireplace could provide. Wife asked our neighborhood page if anyone had heaters we could borrow for a few days and ended up with 6 of them.
