How much are eggs near you??

[Lemon-Drop]

At the grocery store, the cheap, sad, big commercial eggs are about one dollar. On smaller business eggs, they can be from 3 to even 10 dollars a dozen.

Out of curiosity, do you ever have excess eggs? I should downsize. I have way too many birds.

Excess eggs? I'm giving away in excess of 10 dozen a week while i delay certification, deciding if i want to hide it behind an LLC or not, which more than doubles my annual costs but provides some shelter from personal liability, and if i LLC, what to call the farm/homestead... Names matter

I'm the only one I knowing that sells eggs, but store eggs are like 2.67

Where I live, a dozen eggs costs like, 1.80

Donate them to your local bakery or give some to your neighbors

I have on neighbor who sells eggs. 5$ a dozen for chickens, 7$ for ducks. A dollar per egg for hatching eggs. Here though some people are willing to pay that much for farm-fresh eggs, its making me consider a roadside egg/quail meat/honey stand this summer!

I went to a seminar here put on by the Dept of Agriculture. I can sell my eggs legally at our farm but they have to be refrigerated at no higher than 45ºF. This covers me legally if someone was to have any issues. I do have a certification from the state. It's different if you are planning on selling processed birds. Much stricter rules. In Florida we have the Florida Cottage Food Laws and Regulations, to sell homemade foods in Florida. There are certain things you can and cannot sell.

Most of my neighbors do buy my eggs. Tomorrow I'm taking several cartons to sell at our local farm swap. I can sell a lot there.
