selling farm fresh eggs

[eagal]

Do you have to be ( USDA) certifide to sell farm fresh eggs ? I only have 12 birds, I mostly give eggs to family members (NO CHARGE) would like sell eggs to pay for grain and electricity.
Any info would be helpful!


Thank you;

I don't. I sell them to people I know!!

I think it depends on your area. You might consider charging a feed donation.

Check your laws. In Georgia you have to read a booklet then pass an exam. I understand it's quite simple and the fee is low. Problem is the state only offers it when they decide they have the funds. So I give the things away, have a few people who I either owe some favors to, or could use the donation.

I don't believe USDA has any rules concerning small producers selling eggs, however, you had better check with your state Department of Agriculture.
