Where are free range eggs available in Taipei?
Have the supermarkets in Taiwan begun to sell them yet?
And what kind of prices are we looking at?
cheers
Organic shops carry them. My place has 8 for NT85.
I know the supermarkets carry higher end eggs which tend to be very good, but not sure if thet are free range. Carrefore also carries free range chickens grown in aboriginal mountain areas. Damn tasty birds! 
Yep, taiho has them, 85 nts per 8 as stated by MM.
Wellcome carries brownish eggs called 盤古蛋 (pan2gu3dan4; see photo below) that say (自由生活 in Chinese) ‘free living’ or something like that, which seems to mean free range; the other descriptions on the label are, as I understand it, about the chickens being raised humanely, openly and not in stacks of cages. They’re not cheap, though, at $99 for only six:
There’s another kind (see photo below) from the same company costing about $79 per dozen that say 古早蛋 Nature Egg, which supposedly (although not claiming free range) still have high quality control and no chemicals in the feed, and they apparently add a little bit of a special kind of Japanese vinegar to the feed, which they claim lowers the cholesterol in the eggs by about a quarter.
Taiwan apparently doesn’t permit the label ‘organic’ on eggs yet because regulations stipulating the criteria or some other mechanism hasn’t been established (or so I’m told), but there is a TAP (traceability of agricultural products) labeling system and database that let you look up info on the company and products. The companies I’ve seen putting this on their products tend to be those with (or claiming) eco-friendly, safer or organic products. The logo looks like this:
In a book on organic food in Taiwan (Taiwan Map of Organic Food, in Chinese) on a page about the producer of both of the above egg types, it says that the founder started this company because he wanted to make eggs that were hormone free, that he uses vitamin E to replace antibiotics, and that the varieties of eggs he makes depend on the different feeds that the chickens get. An accompanying photo shows the chickens being raised on the ground, not in cages, but within the confines of a large building; it looks fairly clean and there is about one bird per square meter – not an idyllic country farm image, but significantly better than some I’ve seen where the birds are squished together and treading on other, dead birds.
