Homegrown egg prices.......

[AlchemyAcres]

What are homegrown eggs selling for in your area?

I've charged $1.75 per dozen for several years....eggs raised on almost 100% homegrown feed.

A guy on one of the main drags here has upped his price to $2.50 per dozen for eggs fed on non-organic commercial feed.

It may be high time for me to increase my prices.

Yeah, I go by what the competition is doing. I've been selling them for $2.00 a dozen, usually sell them in 18 egg cartons for $3.00. The folks here don't care much about organic - just country eggs. Tomato/tomoto. But they won't pay too much more for country eggs. Too many folks with chickens and eggs for sale. Duck eggs also seem to have a few fans out there. I have folks that only want duck eggs.

Guinea eggs I've been selling in the spring for $1.00 each as fertile eggs. Meet folks from time to time that want them. The guineas lay so many that I guarantee them to be fertile. If they don't hatch they can come out and get a free replacement. Sre is sweet to sell a dozen of them at $1.00 each!

$1.00 dz here from the Amish, only they are mixed.
I paid $1.65 for jumbo store bought eggs, several are double yolk in each dozen.
Sure do miss the farm in NH near my house, $1.25 for XXL.

Most farm eggs here go for about 2.50 a dozen. (Central MN) People off the main drag charge a little less, but not much as far as I have seen lately.

Dang I need to raise my prices according to what every one else is getting. I have been selling mine for $1.50 a dozen here to customers who come and get them. Dont think I would put mine in the organic catagory tho. We do feed some non-medicated laying pellets and some store bought scratch feed but they also forage for some food and get home grown organic corn. Actually the same corn we use to grind for cornmeal.
In this area people wont pay more just for country eggs if they can buy them at the store cheaper.

Have a great day!

Stella,

That's the way it is here. Most people are getting $1.50 up to $2.00. I never did refer to mine as organic or all natural. I referred to them as free-range. There is a large coop grocer that only sells organic type groceries. They are big.. They are in an old Safeway store. The last time I was there, free range eggs were over $3.00 a dozen.

$2 dozen is a common price

in this part of south central ky, genuine country eggs are going for an average buck and a half - mixed sizes and mixed colors -

I'm getting $2.00 a dozen. They don't get Oraganic feed but my one customer told me what feed he liked. ;-) He stops by and picks them up too!

In the store the Free Range eggs are running between $3.00 and $3.50.

$1.75 and up in Oklahoma

Not sure what they sell for but to produce them on store bought feed costs $2.49/dozen. I just figured this out the other day when I bought the first back of layer feed I've bought in a year(?) or so. Maybe two years. Seems like the price of feed has doubled. In the warm months we don't feed the chickens - they just free range and catch all their own food. To keep laying in winter though I find I have to feed them layer or figure out a good substitute.

Feed has doubled! Amazing enough we broke a record for production YESTERDAY - that was the winter solstice with no extra light! We've been getting 9-10 a day from 24 hens and yesterday got 14 - go figure.

Next year we hope to grow more of the feed with the extra space we have now.

[bookwormom]

ditto.
I would love to sell them for $1.50. Just no customers around here. I tried the giving away a sample dozen route, but I guess they expect to keep getting them at that price.

[FarmerChick]

We have over 200 layers.

We sell at farmer markets every weekend. (near Charlotte NC area)

Price is $3.75 (and being raised to $4 in January)
most vendors are $5 right now

We do very well in egg sales and make alot of profit.

I sold at a local farmer's market last year. White eggs sold for $2.00, brown eggs sold for $2.50, and green eggs sold for $3.00. I sold duck eggs for $3.00. I buy eggs at a nearby feed/hardware/greenhouse/etc for $1.50.

A friend had a booth at a farmer's market in Memphis. Up there, fresh eggs were $4.00. She sold duck eggs for $2.50 per HALF DOZEN. She said she had people waiting for her on Saturdays asking if she had duck eggs. They are Great for baking.
