Another example of ordinary food, and "organic."

21. My eggs are labelled 'Expired 2012'. Mainly because I am fortunate enough to have...

...local chicken farmers who sell fresh eggs, so long as you bring your own carton (which is an old one from, you guessed it, 2012! ). I'd highly recommend to those not in big cities to take a drive through your local countryside and look. The individuals I purchase from don't advertise more than a small sign in their yard. I literally drove by it as an accident (wrong turn). Three years on, there are all sorts of tiny 'businesses' (not really, but more like personal side-businesses) out in the countryside that I've found by word of mouth and signs in yards.

Of course, they're not inspected and stamped 'Safe according to people who are neither responsible nor concerned about you' (that I know of; there might be some odd small chicken farmer regulation I'm unaware of). You can determine for yourself if the 'risk' is worth it. If anyone has an idea (or knowledge about situations like this) for city dwellers, that'd be helpful. I'm not a big city person, a small stint in Indianapolis notwithstanding.

If you can't source your food, it likely isn't food. Not in this world, not anymore.
