What's the secret for finding bright-orange yolks? Besides a farm. Anyway to determine what to buy in a grocery store?
Happy Eggs is one brand. You can look up packaging. Usually they are “free range” as it is the better diet of chickens allowed to naturally forage and not just fed grain in pens that increases the nutritional value. Sometimes free range + organic. Some advertised as free range are not orange yolks. Most truly good ones will say “orange yolk” somewhere on package. You may have to try a few before you hit the jackpot.
Free-range. Period.
The color will depend on what the chicken ate, so there are variants of "free range" that will depend on the actual pasture/land used. Some farms are better than others- try a few.
Note that even eggs gotten straight from a based, natural farmer may not actually be pastured. A big flock of chickens is an amazingly tasty sight for eagles and hawks, so the farmer needs rolling pasture cages (a big doghouse, basically, that is moved around the pasture as they eat) - a bit of a specialty unless the farm raises eggs professionally.
