    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    Thanks!! I feel like $4, adequately explained to customers via signage, will be no problem. We have a pretty good summer-early fall following at our veggie stand, so I think we've got those months covered. I'm pretty decent with photography, so I think I'll laminate some pics of the happy...

    These are the local pastured eggs at the grocery store--love the packaging and love their website!! Cost is $5.99/dozen

    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    I have never been to our local Farmer's Market at a nearby middle school (in the more "affluent" side of town), and I'm curious as to what they charge. I don't think I'll even have to work that hard to find people to buy eggs since I already have a ton of FB friends that are nearby who want to...

    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    Thanks for the input!! I think I'll just advertise the obvious and true statements that really got me when I first started looking into getting chickens: --the FRESHNESS of the eggs (I didn't know the egg farmer has 30 days to get the eggs to the distributor and then they have 30 days to sell...

    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    Thanks!!! I think I've settled on an advertised price of $4 to most people. That way, I'll be able to buy one bag of feed per 4 dozen eggs sold. Seems reasonable since all of the pastured/fancy eggs are $4.50-$6.50 at the local grocery. I wonder what our brand- new Whole Foods is...

    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    My kids and I spent some quality time in the egg aisle at Price Chopper to see what the comparable prices were. Basically, the Price Chopper white or brown eggs are around $2, Egglands Best basic eggs are $3ish and then it jumps up from $4.50-6 for the cage-free, pasture-raised or Organic eggs...

    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    Yeah, I think I might just be urban enough. We are about 8 miles south of Albany and in one of the few "Right to Farm" areas around here. I think I would describe our area as thoroughly suburban. We border Albany, Glenmont, Delmar, Feura Bush, etc. and I have a lot of friends on Facebook who...

    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    Aww, that's sweet!! Each of my three kids has a "job" that they get to keep the money from--they put 1/2 in the bank and make a goal of something to save for with the other half. My daughter (11) helps with the flowers and veggies, my oldest son (9) with the golf balls, and now my youngest (6)...

    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    Yeah, two sellers in my high school charge $3 and one lady charges $5. They both have a loyal following! I think with good advertising, a big group of local friends on Facebook, local delivery, and the fact that it's my 6-year-old's "job" to feed/water/collect eggs, then maybe that will work...

    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    Great! I absolutely will PM you my address. Right now, we only have 10 laying hens so we don't have a ton yet (about 8 eggs/day) but we have about 20 11-week-old hens that will be laying this late winter/Spring. Will be making a list of regular customers to ask first when we have eggs!! Thanks!

    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    Yeah, we definitely make out better on the golf balls! Free to get and $5/dozen for most brands and $10/Pro-V1s!! Oh well--I'm not really trying to make a major profit--just off-set costs, feed my habit, and let my son make this his little "part-time" job. I was thinking that advertising...

    Is $4/dozen pastured eggs to much? Suburban upstate, NY...

    Hi there...I know this price varies WIDELY from area to area, state to state, but is $4 asking too much/dozen at our family farm stand just a few miles south of Albany, NY? We are on a main county road with lots of traffic and have a great customer base with our little front yard farm...
