Hubby came home from work (works with his dad) and said that his dad wanted to know if we had any more eggs laying around they could have (we'd given them two dozen... though the first was tossed because I forgot to tell MIL that our eggs are stored on the counter... she thought that they'd "gotten warm" and thus weren't safe... doh!)... DH told him that I'd just made a big batch of deviled and HB eggs so we only had a handful left... FIL said "Well shoot. After eating yours... well the store ones just aren't good enough anymore. Never noticed that you can't even see the difference between the white and the yolk hardly. Guess I got spoiled"
So, definitely a woot... if your neighbors, friends, family are anything like my In Laws they'll be happy to take free eggs, but most especially after they've tasted the difference.
Also, a call to local charities is definitely worth it. May tell you that they personally can't accept, but they also might be able to give you a lead to another who can!
I love the idea of the sign/donation thing... spreads the word about how good home grown is, gets others interested, helps out your neighbors, and offloads your excess... sounds win win all around!
Recipe wise... don't forget quiche... or there's this yummy chili relleno bake... SO good and way easier (less time and way less mess) than true blue rellenos.
