Our First Egg Sale!!

We sold our first dozen eggs today! So exciting! lol We are charging $2.00 a dozen. I checked the grocery stores for prices of cage free eggs, and they were all more that .  Before we put the sign up, we did have someone stop and ask if were had any for sale, but he refused to pay $2.00. He said he usually bought them from our neighbor down the road for $1. a dozen. I want to be able to buy the chicken food and the egg cartons out of the egg money, and can't do that for $1 a dozen.

I got information from the extension office about selling eggs, and it stated that the cartons had to be new. I bought the cartons from www.eggcartons.com Hopefully we'll sell many, many more eggs!

That's great that you are selling eggs now. I think $2 is a fair price to ask. We still haven't started marketing our eggs yet, but if we do, we will probably sell them for $1.50 or $2.00 a dozen. Our neighbor buys them from us for $1.00 a dozen, but we don't even ask her to pay that. We would just give them to her for free, being our neighbor and especially since she sometimes has to put up with our chickens in her yard!

Your past entries are some of the best that I've seen here and your blog is one of my all time favorites! I hope you will find time again this year to record more of what is going on around your home. It is great fun for us reading about another families adventures in homesteading that are so similar to our own!

We recently enjoyed re-reading all of your posts about your goats and kids because we just got some of our own.

God bless you all!

Congratulations!

We just sold our first eggs last week too. We're contemplating putting up a sign to try and sell them for $2/dozen to passerbys, but we sell them for $1.50/dozen to friends.


Awesome!

$2.00/dz doesn't sound bad at all for "farm fresh". Our local grocery stores charges $1.39 for a dozen. Their big sale will have them for a dollar. And they're not farm fresh....

But how exciting that you made your first sale!
