when the fridge is full of eggs nobody buys

They'd still have to pick them up since we don't go into town often. I think asking them to pick up that many free eggs isn't asking much.

When I have a glut of eggs I head to the tavern. Sold 25 dozen today for $50 plus a few beers and won $30 and two six-packs on four shakes of the dice. Not bad for an afternoon.

I suppose it varies by state. I don't know what the Wisconsin regs are. Many are sold directly to whoever is in the tavern at the time, although I do have one bar owner who takes 20 dozen a week from me. He resells them at cost.

I don't know of any egg seller's licensing in Wisconsin. I did some checking and USDA grading and inspection is voluntary. In Wisconsin most of the requirements are for packaging; must have producers name, must have date packed, must have warning labels, must be in clean cartons. Although they also state that any eggs that wouldn't meet a USDA grade of B or better can't be sold for human consumption...

While grading may be voluntary, that's not to say that the restaurants aren't required to use USDA graded eggs. I don't know...

Check the store where you purchase your feed. Alot of feed stores also sell organic/fresh food for humans. My feed Store pays me 3.25 a dozen and sells them for 4-6.00 depending on size.

Have you tried auctioning any or 24 hr auction you may could move some that way also.

He didn't say he sold TO the tavern. He said he went to the tavern

I use to take orders all the time from my bar buddies and then deliver the next day. (I soon found out, I make more money staying OUT of the bar than selling eggs IN the bar)
