when selling eggs...

[wjallen05]

do yall include an egg carton? I read where a lot of you sell eggs for $1-2 a dozen. That seems pretty cheap to me...? I was thinking of selling eggs for $3/dozen but that's including an egg carton.

We sell for $3.00 a dozen and include an egg carton. Our chickens are organically fed and we usually get the egg cartons back from the customers.

I sell mine for $3, which includes a beautiful, clear plastic carton with nutrition label and everything.

I'm also going back to organic feed even though I can't technically call my flock/eggs organic. What they eat now has more impact on their eggs than what they ate growing up....

I'm curious - how else would you sell a dozen eggs but in a carton? I sell mine for $3.00 and yes, it includes a carton, I think they were $.245 piece in quantity from eggcartons.com.

I know someone here local who does not sell egg cartons, you must provide your own. I think he sells the eggs for $1.50 a dozen.

I was wondering about the folks on here who sell eggs for $1 a dozen, after you buy the cartons, it doesn't seem like you'd be making much of a profit.

Or you could ask costomers to save the egg cartons, and lower the price per dozen.

Just wondering what other people are doing.

We sell for $2/dozen in a carton. I do ask my customers to return the cartons so I can reuse....most will supply me with extras if they have them.
