Tips On Selling Eggs By The Road

[MIgardengal]

My grandma lives on a gravel side road and can’t keep up with the demand for eggs.

Use a piece of white painted plywood. Make your wording bright. “farm fresh eggs for sale $2 a doz...(maybe even a note to text your phone #)

If you are on a quiet side road, put a sign on the closest busy road, by the stop sign.

Also try selling at farm markets, at local co-ops etc. Put a sign on the cork board at work. Once people start eating them you will have hooked customers

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!

I think you need to ask at least $3.00 a dozen for “free range” eggs.

Or better yet $ 4.50 / Doz for 'Self Pick' Free Range Eggs. 5 a dozen for the 'colored' ones, and a whole 12 dollars a dozen for the ones lovingly guarded by their organic mom, for the broody hens in the flock

Glad to see this! Thanks for the update

That's so cool! Good job!

 

[Ascholten]

Good Job, glad to hear they are selling now. Soon you'll have them lined up down the driveway for your eggs and needing more birds!

Good luck to your venture and may it grow large for you!

We donate several dozen to our church a week, eat a couple dozen more, and my wife has a call list of probably 8-10 names for the other 5 dozen or so beyond that. All from word of mouth. They go on a rotation- she calls in order and when the eggs run out, the last name that didn't get eggs is first called for the next batch. She gets $3/dozen if they return a carton or $3.50 without a return carton. It pays for the feed and she really has fun with it.

Our flock is mixed and the egg cartons look like boxes of jewels.

We're in central Texas.
