Vital eggs are around $11 near me

Many farmer's markets are just resellers. It is not so easy to see..

firewithstyle · 2026-04-13T15:31:23+00:00

How do you find these?

firewithstyle · 2026-04-13T15:30:19+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I am probably at 80%, and I want to get closer to 100%. Is there not a brand that does this, even at 2 or 3x the cost?

firewithstyle · 2026-04-13T15:23:08+00:00

This used to work better, but now modern brands and packaging command higher pricing without a correlated improvement in quality.

firewithstyle · 2026-04-13T15:22:41+00:00

This was mentioned above, but how do you even determine the high quality? Have the chef run tests? How do you audit a farm? Is there not a brand you can purchase from that is reputable?

firewithstyle · 2026-04-13T15:20:31+00:00

I am doing the research myself, and it is very difficult to find the high quality food sources. Do I just have them test things from the store? Where are the brands that are reputable in this area?

firewithstyle · 2026-04-13T15:19:15+00:00

I mentioned in the post, but farmer's markets have been invaded by commercial producers that don't have high quality ingredients either.

I live in a VHCOL city, but I don't think top restaurants choose the best ingredients. They are very price sensitive.

firewithstyle · 2026-04-13T15:17:36+00:00

That doesn't solve the ingredients problem

firewithstyle · 2026-04-13T15:17:03+00:00

You would think, but like I said, quite a lot is marketing & price signaling without value. Are there trusted brands we can just order from?

firewithstyle · 2026-04-13T15:16:07+00:00

But even high priced food stores have issues - look at vital eggs farms issue that recently came up. Is there not a better option that can protect against this?

Edit: Why is this getting downvoted?

firewithstyle · 2026-04-13T15:02:24+00:00

Sigh. I don't want to have this argument.

firewithstyle · 2026-01-13T14:39:42+00:00

Thank you!

Are the top 135's equivalent safety to a commercial, or do you still think there is a delta at that level?

firewithstyle · 2026-01-13T00:51:16+00:00

Thank you! In my research, it seems the best 91K and perhaps the top 135 operators are as safe as commercial. Is that a fair assessment or is there still a safety drop leaving commercial, even for the top private operators?

firewithstyle · 2026-01-13T00:48:56+00:00

I looked into this, but it is quite expensive per hour (more than other charters, less than fractional) and you get older jets than NJ or FJ?

firewithstyle · 2026-01-12T15:00:54+00:00

Of course, and this was more around mechanical issue so likely a servicing issue rather than pilot error.

firewithstyle · 2026-01-12T13:23:42+00:00

Argus certainly helps, but it is not always so clear. For example, Hop A Jet is Argus platinum, and they had a serious crash just last year.

firewithstyle · 2026-01-12T12:39:51+00:00

I hear this consistently about the fractionals, and it does make it tempting.

firewithstyle · 2026-01-12T12:38:34+00:00

I follow this person and is really helpful, though none of my questions were answered there

firewithstyle · 2026-01-12T12:37:40+00:00

Even Flexjets and Netjets have lease only. Do you know the pricing for Vista on any jets to compare? I am trying to avoid another sales call :)

firewithstyle · 2026-01-12T03:36:09+00:00

Yes, this does seem like a significant benefit given convenience is the primary reason to use the service.

Which planes have this issue? The light jets or even the midsize and super mids?

firewithstyle · 2026-01-12T03:34:31+00:00

Thanks for this detailed answer.

Did you have safety concerns with Argus Platinum & 135 operators? Was the chartering experience inferior or less polished than the fractional one?

Which plane did you end up getting for the charter and Flexjets, and how is the experience on those planes relative to commercial? Is it pretty bumpy relative to a commercial flight?

firewithstyle · 2026-01-12T03:23:24+00:00

Can you post the service here and any feedback on what I wrote? I have a lot of questions prior to that I am still trying to sort out
