What it does not require is a certain barn or shed size or limit on the amount chickens housed inside such facilities. To earn it, a farmer must pass an inspection showing that the eggs came from hens that eat an antibiotic-free, 100% organic diet, and are allowed access to the outdoors and sunlight. Three separate certifying systems have been created by egg producers.Ĭertified Organic: This is the only certification that is regulated by the government. To do this, we need to be educated consumers and understand the labeling on the cartons. With all of these associations with life and the earth, it only makes sense that the eggs that we dye for our baskets, egg hunts and rolls be good for the earth and respect life. Eastern Christianity has created several myths regarding the connection between the egg and the Easter story, including a claim that Mary Magdalene brought eggs to share at the tomb of Jesus, which turned bright red when she saw that Christ had risen. Christians adopted this symbol for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, allegedly having occurred in early spring. In pagan culture, the egg signified the rebirth of the earth during spring.

I also wanted to share with you this entry that I wrote several years ago for The Local Beet, which talks not only about how to dye eggs naturally, but also how to buy eggs that are not only good for the body but also for the planet since that's what Purple Asparagus is all about. Me, I'll be dying lots of eggs since my Little Locavores kid and I will be appearing on WGN tomorrow at 11am to demonstrate natural egg dying.
Even bloggers of different faiths have gotten in on the game. Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan just re-posted her how-to dye eggs naturally over the Kitchn (I love the suggestion of oiling the eggs to give them a high shine). The always amazing Christina LeBeau gives her rundown of eggsperiments on Spoonfed. With the impending arrival of a fuzzy, long eared creature, everyone seems to be talking about eggs this week.
