We recently stopped buying eggs from a local producer because we suspected that most of the eggs he was delivering were not his own. I'm not opposed to that per se -- it could be a good way for very small producers to get paid for their food -- but I need disclosure of who the food producer is and what the economic agreement is between them to support it. That's part of the whole point -- I pay a premium and know who's growing my food and the practices they use. And who my money is supporting.
