Best By Date?

[Acre of Blessings]

How much time do you give for the best if used by______________. Is it 1 week, 2 weeks or 2 1/2 weeks. How long do you tell ppl that the eggs will last?

Sorry if I sound confusing.

My mom grew up on a farm, and she told me sometimes the eggs would sit for a month in there cellar before they made it to market. She said this was the norm for all the farmers she knew. i wouldn't know what to tell your customers though.

I've let my store bought eggs sit for 3 months before finishing a carton off. They were fine scambled eggs too!
