How can you tell if eggs are fresh... or not fresh ?? The boxes in the supermarket have a date on them .

yes that's correct, but when I drove lorries, picking up eggs from egg farms, or battery hens, all the eggs were sold in rotation, so I know they had been stored already, then let's say delivered to well known stores, (one in particular where wifey worked) they were stored again, sometime for days an sold in rotation.
many moons ago my father had relations in Wales who had a small farm and we visited a few times a year, eggs were always given to us, an I can guarantee the difference was, (fresh eggs), colour, taste, everything.

Think you mean Loucaides Lloyd. They supply the eggs we sell in the Bookshop in Tremithousa and also at the Paphiakos market on Saturday mornings.

Agree, best by a country mile. And that's from 25 years' experience. The next best are Kolios 1+1 eggs (expensive for one box but 1+1 lightens the load on the wallet). They have the thickest shells I have ever come across anywhere in the world. Not sure what that means, though!

The poultry farm HiC refers to is right by the Agia Varvara Green Point.
You can see a map of that here:

Indeed, if you look at the first photo on that entry, you will see a sign for Loukaides Poultry Farm.
Um, if this isn't the place HiC was referring to I will amend this post.
