Eggs at the local farmer's market are about $4.00 a dozen, at the supermarket they are more like $1.25 a dozen. That's not a tough decision for me to make.
I've noted that a lot of prices are higher at my local farmers' market than at the grocery store. When I notice higher prices, I buy at the farmers' market only if it is either something that I cannot find elsewhere--varieties of pumpkins, for example--or there is a trade-off, such as patronizing the people with the organic certification.
