In Britain you can look for the mark of the Soil Association:  http://www.soilassociation.org  - it's not
government sponsored or controlled - they are an independant watchdog whose aims I rather happen to agree with
(and I'd guess you do too!).  I also buy only Free Range eggs...  Incidentally I was surprised to find that in
New York (at least) eggshells are pure white - they very rarely are here, but are all shades from pale blue
(though you have to pay extra for these :-) through beige to almost orangey-brown.  I have no idea what causes
this.
