We sell USDA Certified Organic eggs, but we produce about 1300 dozen a week. We get $1.75 per dozen through our organic cooperative. I pull the jumbo and super jumbo eggs off the top and sell them locally. If people buy them at the farm I charge $2.00 per dozen, which is the same as the wholesale price because the cartons cost 25 cents. Sometimes if they are starting to pile up here, the wife takes them into town where she has a little route through an industrial area and stops at various businesses and sells them to the employees for $3.00 per dozen. We sell a lot of extra eggs this way. $4000 worth last year. Generally, we are trying to sell super jumbo eggs that can't be processed at the egg plant because of their size. If we raised the price any further, we would have a much harder time trying to sell them and would end up having to chuck extra eggs.
