In S.E. CT, farm eggs are selling for $2 to $3 per doz. The grocery store is $2.19 to $2.89 per doz, depending on size. BJs wharehouse store sells 2 doz eggs for about $2.

I've only been getting eggs for 11 days now. I'm up to 3 a day. I think when I go back to work on Sunday I'll bring a dozen with me. I plan on charging $2- a dozen.

Here in Phoenix, the "going price" at farmers markets is $5 a doz, which is a bit too steep for me. Until my girls start laying, I am buying eggs at $3.00 a doz from a neighbor.

I sell out every week at $4.00 a dozen and $5.00/doz for jumbos/xxls. They call me the "egg lady" at the farmer's market.

For you that are selling at a market, do you pay a vendor fee to be there? When you say you sell out, approximately how many dozen are you selling?

I did a booth once, paid $20 for the stand, sold 10 dozen eggs for $2.00 a dozen (albeit it was a VERY SMALL market). I have better things to do with my day, since I can sell them out of my house for $1.50. If I take them to the local auction, they'll sell for $1-$2 a dozen and I get 75% of that. I did have a market vendor interested in taking my eggs this spring in much better farm market, but 2 others vendors showed up selling eggs this year.

A lot has to do with LOCATION.

I have been getting 4 dollars a dozen for large brown eggs and 5 dollars a dozen for my EE green eggs. Some people have said they would pay more.

The grocery sells for $1.89.. I would sell for $2 if I had extras.. but I think Between my IL's who helped build the coop.. and bribing the neighbors I won'y have any left...
