Tips On Selling Eggs By The Road

That is not a functional website for me?

Looks like it's down for maintenance.

where do you even get cheap egg cartons? I seen them at TSC but they were pretty costly. Well everything is now, especially with shipping but man 60 cents each? for recycled cardboard? ugh.

Only 49 cents here, but Starke with a lower cost of living was hitting that 60 cent mark. SMH

A friend of mine (who has a lot more birds) built a cabinet by his mailbox with a sign for fresh eggs. Pay is by the honor system (remember that?) and it’s working out.

I need some tips on selling eggs by my road. I put them out everyday in a cooler with a big sign above them for $2.00. For some reason I don't really sell any.
Thanks all!

If I saw farm fresh eggs for $2 I'd stop on a dime! In California, people sell their eggs for $5-6

They are running around $2.50 here and in the local stores about 4 dollars a carton. one of the local feed stores has a decent deal, They pay the sellers 2 dollars a dozen, and sell them for 2.75 a dozen, to get people into the store. They can't keep eggs in stock, so all the locals who are looking to get rid of extra eggs, can always bring them there.

What we do is we talk to our neighbors and tell them about our eggs, and usually, they make a weekly schedule to come in and buy eggs, and they also tell other people how good our eggs are. Also, are your eggs more expensive than the local stores? If they are you might want to reduce the price a little although $2.00 is pretty cheap. Are you in a small town or farming community? It's good to have farming country around so people who are local trust homegrown eggs. Just a few tips.

Fresh farm eggs should cost more then the heaven-knows-how-old eggs in the grocery store.

true. They are probably better for you too and at least you know where they come from.

I'm rural and there's not many laws here. Maybe living on a country road doesn't help.

Have that problem just find people at work of places Or even friends you go to sell to if not many

I'll buy your eggs! I've seen them go for $12/dz in urban Farmer's Mkts.... Agree with the suggestions to make signs, cute photos, ads, etc. Maybe a heads-up sign, like "eggs ahead".... sometimes when there's just one sign by the time someone thinks to turn in they're past, and loathe to turn around. Give em some warning maybe?
