Can't sell homegrown eggs?

Wheeew

I thought what I had to say would sound bad...

*cough*

so when I was little we were told "don't eat raw eggs from the store, they are likely contaminated with salmonella."
does this bakery not cook their egg products? :/

of course I also remember the year my parents were told by the grocery stores that they sold vegetables to that they couldn't take their fresh vegetables anymore because of some law that was passed. all "fresh" vegetables in the stores had to first be shipped out of province to a specific place to be processed before being shipped back. to make sure they were "safe" or something. seems ridiculous to me. But law is law. they'll get in trouble possibly shut down if they don't follow the rules. So...

Of course the bakery cooks their eggs, but they *might not* be cooked thoroughly. It's more of a liability issue on the slight chance that someone might not handle the eggs properly. Personally, I think backyard eggs are safer than the ones from a commercial production facility. But, because there have been a few incidences, laws are made.

I agree. I trust back yard eggs more than store bought when it comes to heath concerns. But then I know what condition the chickens are kept in. stores for the public need to have a regulated standard, even if that standard is lower than what most backyard chicken enthusiasts would have.

You know, my dogs will not eat "store bought" eggs, "something is wrong with these daddy!"
For me it is not worth selling a dozen eggs, my time is worth more. (and people can be so blasted picky) So when I have extras, they go to the food bank.
These "laws" are there for financial responsibility. There must be someone to sue,,,,
Also what about eggs for hatching? I would not want them to have been washed, or chilled.

There are no federal egg sale bans. This is local liberal snowflake madness. In my state you are required to take an egg candling class, and upon completion you can sell your backyard eggs at flea markets, farmers markets or right out of the backyard. Restaurants and grocery stores operate under different regulations. You should know these laws and regulations before you try to sell your eggs.

Huh, to sell eggs out of our backyard or to friends we don't have to do any of that. Unfortunately even to sell the same product as "hatching eggs" we have to test the whole flock for pollurum, a disease that hasn't been seen for so long? Test for something useful if you must require something!

They certainly are safer.

Read "Folks, This Aint Normal"...he shares your sentiment. Good book. I have 27 hens and sell about 4-8 doz a week, all to neighbors, friends, co-workers...I put a sign at end of road and it did attract a few people, but established customers is what I depend on. I wish you the best!

I make more money off hatching and selling my chicks than I do off of eggs. Here it doesn't matter if your NPIP certified to sell unless you are shipping. Still something I will be scheduling for once we get all our coops and isolation pens finished. It would be nice to have a broader customer base.

Not NPIP certified. Pullorum testing.
