Another sourcing thread.

Where can I find fresh hen's eggs in London, for a reasonable price?

I don't mean the "free range" joke from supermarkets (tastes just the same as caged) but something akin to what we had from our neighbour's farm in France - eggs just laid (2-3 days) from hens who roam about eating worms and other tasty things. Giving a lovely tasty yolk.

I saw some free range eggs on Borough markets - are those closer to what I'm looking for? Anything safe enough to eat raw...

Additionally, as it's probably not worth starting a new thread for that, what are good markets for meat and vegs in London, apart from Borough? Anything near Stockwell/Brixton/Vauxhall/Victoria would be particularly appreciated.

we import eggs directly from France given our customer base and their demands! they are excellent, and very fresh.

for local eggs your best bet is a farmers market as mentioned in a reply above.
