On the original thread this picture came from, people were talking about a new law that went into effect in January in Colorado only allowing certified cage-free eggs to be sold statewide. It seems that's behind the price on this single brand of eggs. Would be interested to see how all the other egg prices on that shelf compare

In NC at aldi, cage free eggs are $4.50/do. and free range eggs are $5.30/do.

I get that price are regional, but there's got to be another factor for why the price is double what I pay for pasture raised eggs.

Because in Colorado, they can't sell the cheap eggs laid by chickens packed in cages, so the demand for the expensive eggs has gone up significantly, driving up prices. Also the cost of living in many parts of Colorado is higher than North Carolina.
