There is, or perhaps was because the last time i went past it wasn't as it had before been afore, a place on the outskirts of Haughton with an honesty box type of arrangement.
Also next door to Izaak Walton's Cottage there certainly was, and one assumes still is, such a source.
There's probably closer stuff out Cannock way if you're still somewhere Baswichy, so @Carole might be better placed to advise.

There is somewhere in Bednall that has an honesty box.
They don’t have many chickens, only about a few dozen eggs a day so it’s a bit of a bun fight first thing in the morning in the village to be honest.
The egg farm at Bednall Head have free range chickens, I think. It’s my second best place to go.

Enjoying a drop of red.
Bugger all use though if you really needed a dozen eggs for some emergency baking or omletting.

Eggsactly (see what I did there?)
I was actually baking 3 cakes and needed a dozen eggs. It was such a nice gesture though and the owners of the chickens are friends of mine.
I just made 2 cakes that day and enjoyed the chocolate, which to be honest wasn’t a huge inconvenience

I’ve just been in today and found out that sadly they are closing permanently at the end of May.
It’s a shame really because with a bit of money and imagination spent on it, it could have been so much more.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Can people outside Bednall use the egg place you use or is it just for locals?

Anyone can use it but to be honest her chickens are just a hobby rather than a business opportunity.
She puts her spare eggs on the shelf at about 8.30 in the morning, there are usually only 2 or 3 boxes so it’s just a matter of luck if there are any there. My back up was always Bednall Head Farm.
