How RUDE!

But I dont understand the logic behind it.
I have several health issues and I like to eat as organic as possible.
I buy all our beef and pork from a natural grower, I use my own eggs and chickens.
I know people that have to buy everything locally because of allergies....that I dont understand but I'm not a doc.
And they make it so hard. I tried several times to read all the rules and regulations and it is exhausting

just to get a farm fresh egg!

That seems so unfair to me, at least!

I hope you get to the bottom of this, and you can still sell those delicious eggs of yours.

Up here we are allowed to sell eggs if the customer approaches us (and we can advertise so that customers know that we are here). I just can't sell to stores or restaurants without a permit and a refrigerator that is routinely tested, etc... but go figure, you can only sell raw milk for pet use.

As far as allergies go, I do know that if you use local raw honey it's supposed to help with allergies, probably like when they give you a shot to help you be immune to whatever is local and affecting you. It helps with allergies to local plants... bees make honey from the pollen of those plants and after eating the honey you build up an immunity. As far as eating local chickens and eggs? Don't know if that would work the same. Honey actually has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

I found one state ordinace (or something like that) that says you can sell eggs, but they have to be labeled as Ungraded eggs, list the name, address and phone # where they came from. You can only sell so many dozen per year, I can't remember how many, without having to get a permit. My feedstore buys eggs and sells them to other customers, they require the label and a date of when the egg was laid.

I'll see if I can find the site.

Here's what I found. I don't sell at Farmer's Markets, just direct to a few customers.

Try "Donating" with suggested amount.

Georgia you can sell hatching eggs but not food eggs without a graders license.

I sell eggs to neighbors. I gave away eggs at the kids school a few times,but you always have to be concerned about the lame person who will sue you if they get sick.

It is silly how store eggs are considered *safe* when we all know only an egg or 2 out of thousands is checked for contamination issues.Same thing with meats,milks,and so on.

I see no difference in the risk factor when you buy from a home grower,though imo homegrowers tend to be cleaner(easier to do so).

I bet you will see other egg sellers at the swamp meet. That is how the health dept. works.Some get busted and some get by.Reminds me of the people who cooked for the homeless and were made to stop because it was considered a health risk(and they had no permits!)
