According to <a href="https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1810024501" target="_blank">Statistics Canada</a>, the average retail price for a dozen eggs in Canada was $4.42 in June 2024, and it went up to $4.85 by November. </p><p> But if you're willing to venture just outside Montreal, you can grab fresh, farm-raised eggs at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pondoirhdjj/" target="_blank">Pondoir HDJJ</a> in Repentigny for a steal. The farm, run by the Guillemette-Claude family, sells its eggs for only $3.50 per dozen, but the real bargain is buying in bulk — $8.75 for 30 eggs, which works out to just 29 cents each. That's a steal compared to what you'd pay in stores. </p><p> Plus, they often run promotions when their chickens are a little more productive. </p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpXmzyWMOHc/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"> <div style="padding:8px;"> <div style="background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div> </div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpXmzyWMOHc/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_top">See on Instagram</a> </p> </div> </blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p> As part of the <a href="https://oeuf.ca/producteurs/les-fermes/danny-guillemette-et-helene-claude/#" target="_blank">Fédération des producteurs d'œufs du Québec</a>, the Guillemette-Claude clan has been producing fresh, high-quality eggs since 2009. Starting with just 6,600 hens, they now manage 33,000 laying hens and pride themselves on providing affordable, nutritious eggs directly to consumers. </p><p> Montreal-based Instagrammer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ninebbrah/" target="_blank">Nineb Mikhail</a> recently featured the farm in a viral video. He intentionally kept the name of the spot under wraps, trying to keep it a bit lowkey, but despite his efforts, he couldn't help but get his followers curious about the local hack. </p><p> Mikhail described the process of picking up his order as "so easy" and highlighted an interesting detail: "These eggs are fresh and never refrigerated, so you can keep them on your counter for almost two weeks." </p><p>With that in mind, it might be wise to store them in the fridge (just to be on the safe side). </p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFWbZ5cpE6H/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"> <div style="padding:8px;"> <div style="background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div> </div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFWbZ5cpE6H/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_top">See on Instagram</a> </p> </div> </blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><h2>How to get your eggs</h2><ul> <li>Pick-up hours are from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.</li> <li>The farm is closed on Wednesdays and Sundays.</li> <li>Reservations are required.
