I've been wishing I had land so I could do the same. I stopped buying those "free range organic" eggs from Whole Foods over a year ago when I learned they're not really "free range". I detest anything related to factory farming, so I just went vegan altogether. But... I love eggs and wish I could raise my own hens.
I don't think my ancestors were peasants, but I love to garden - I've just been sort of stuck in a second floor apartment for the past 11 years. One day I'll have a house, I think, I hope.
Yes, to get real free range your best bet is the Farmers Market (and even then, I'd probably ask if I could come visit haha).
My diet is a big issue in my life. I'm always trying to be as karma free as possible (not only for the animals but for the environment). I also despise factory farming and greedy corporate america.

Congrats on your egg! :)
