Tomorrow my first dozen eggs will be sold. Not that they're my first eggs (the girls are at just under 500 eggs since Autumn) but it will be my very first sale.
I gave dozens of eggs away at Christmas, but have never sold a single one.
I am so excited.
Of course, I am just as happy giving them away, but hubs (who has been financially supporting the flock for the past 7 months) would like to see some ROI at some point.
I suggested $3 a dozen, but he argued $4 makes more sense. As he is the salesman, I let him broker the egg deals. He got his price, and a couple of regular customers!!!
I guess he is pretty close to right, since they sell old brown eggs at the store for $3.69 a dozen. An additional $0.31 a dozen to have them fresh isn't unreasonable (I suppose...)
This is why I am the farmer and he is the sales executive.
I'll keep making them, and let him keep selling them!
When I was stalking those 20 week old chooks I never thought the day would come I would sell a single egg! Back then, I would have charged $20 an egg!!!
Does anybody else get this excited about selling 12 eggs???
Bright Blessings
