  Welcome to Petaluma, California, where you will find a family owned organic egg farm. It was the first certified organic farm in California apparently, and you can discover just what makes it organic. Video clips are available at many stops; you can view how eggs are loaded onto the conveyer belt and how they reach the transport stage for grocery stores. When you've finished your online field trip, you can experiment making naked eggs and using them for various science experiments, with the 2nd and 3rd links above.
