Sure. There are some CSA (community-supported agriculture) farms around where you can order eggs from pastured chickens (raised on actual pasture as opposed to the poorly-defined "free range") and they will ship to you periodically.

I believe cage free is just what it says: they are cooped together as a flock, but not in individual cages.

Also as the other commenter says, drive around a rural area and you'll likely see any number of farms advertising fresh eggs. However, even there, many of them keep the chickens in a run or coop and they are fed mostly chicken feed. Better living conditions than the average commercial battery farm to be sure, but the eggs won't taste that much different.
