Easter may be over, but with egg prices still at record-high costs nationwide, many remain worried about affording eggs. Nonetheless, the demand for eggs is still surging.
After the price of wholesale eggs dropped significantly in March, industry experts were expecting the consumer price index for retail eggs to fall as well, but because the demand for eggs will continue (thanks, Easter), the prices are predicted to continue to rise. As the fight to find reasonably priced eggs continues, here are five places in Indianapolis where you can buy eggs that are of better quality and at better prices than the grocery store.
Driving Wind Farm
Driving Wind Farm, located in Indianapolis, is a family-owned farm that combines fields perfect for berry picking with a cozy cafe, coffee shop, and market for other shopping purposes.

Driving Wind Farm occasionally sells eggs depending on when the owners chickens are laying eggs. They are a popular item and tend to sell fast in the market. Customers can call ahead at 317-492-9512 to see if eggs are in stock.
