Everything else is frowned upon and is considered „inferior“ – but we know otherwise! Processed eggs are sorted and, for the most part, only AA grade eggs arrive at the supermarket for general consumption. You don`t need to sort or prune your eggs unless you intend to sell them commercially. Collect eggs frequently to avoid contamination and damage. At 10 months, I never thought these eggs would still be good! For those who do not say now if the eggs are still good, put them in a bowl of water, if they sink well, If they swim, it is bad, If we turn, it becomes bad!!! As far as I know, there is no law against selling „visually unattractive“ eggs if your customer doesn`t mind. Raising a backyard chicken flock ensures a steady supply of fresh eggs. But if you plan to sell these eggs, Georgian law requires the eggs to be candles. If you breed bantams, quails or ducks, there are special markets for you. Bakers love duck eggs – if you`ve never cooked with duck eggs before, I highly recommend it!! If you have a small number of eggs that you want to sell each week, the clientele may consist of friends and family members. After spending money building a barn, buying maintenance equipment, and populating the brood, it would probably be cheaper to go to the grocery store to need your eggs. Eventually, these costs will balance out, but the idea of subsidizing feed costs by selling your own „fresh“ eggs can be very appealing and within reach if you know the rules and your flock is big enough to make the effort worthwhile. The egg industry has defined what is acceptable to the public in the size and shape of eggs, and many consumers believe that all eggs are exactly the same. For backyard chicken lovers, selling eggs can be an interesting way to use surplus eggs and offset the cost of maintaining a healthy (and possibly growing) clutch.
If you`re adding new chickens to your flock, look for birds that are good shifts or produce large eggs or pretty eggs (green or pink eggs are always a hit with new buyers). While you`re unlikely to get rich by selling eggs from your backyard hens, selling just a few dozen a month can offset the operating costs of maintaining a backyard flock. If you want to sell at farmers` markets, CSAs or local businesses, you must be licensed. It would be helpful if you were also inspected by the USDA and inspected your facilities annually. If you want customers to come to your door, be sure to say something like „knock on the back door“ – there`s the idea that they`re welcome and sets the direction! No one wants to rummage around looking for someone to buy the eggs from! That being said, you probably don`t want to sell extremely dirty eggs to your customers. These must be washed and stored separately or disposed of. Ensuring that eggs are of the highest quality and safe for human consumption is a top priority in the direct marketing of eggs. Good handling practices (GHP) should be applied in all aspects of the operation, from collection to storage and from transport to storage for sale elsewhere. Avoiding contamination is key to food safety, so GHP starts by keeping eggs as clean as possible and preventing cracks. Farmers must follow these guidelines if they decide to market their eggs directly. Curious.
I`m new to chickens. And I have an abundance of eggs and I want to sell some. Do you refrigerate them before you sell them? Or are they okay with staying on the counter for a week before they have enough to sell? Thank you for doing your homework to find these places, but it may be worth it in the long run. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING: To prevent illness caused by bacteria: store eggs in the refrigerator, cook eggs until yolks are firm, and cook food thoroughly with eggs. The decision to market eggs directly requires the producer to ask and obtain answers to several crucial questions before investing in poultry farming for egg production. These questions include: If you plan to do this regularly, consider sticking a label with your name, address, and phone number on the box. This way, people remember where they bought those delicious eggs! Product liability insurance is an important risk management tool for those who produce and sell eggs. Marketers should purchase this type of insurance in addition to general liability insurance, which does not include food coverage. Product liability insurance provides coverage and legal representation if someone claims your eggs have caused illness, damage or loss. Given the prevalence of foodborne illness claims, purchasing product liability insurance is a wise risk management decision. However, most farmers` markets, restaurants, grocery stores, and institutions require suppliers they do business with to carry product liability insurance, and many also require some minimum insurance coverage.
