Egg Handling Supplies

When selling your farm fresh eggs…

The first step is to research your state regulations regarding home egg sales. Some states require certain conditions for the sale of fresh eggs from your home.

A few commonly found laws mandate:
  • Cartons must be new
  • Eggs must be clean
  • Packaging must be marked with date eggs are laid

Enhance Egg Appeal…

  1. Keep them clean. How?
    • Use roll-away trays in nest boxes. (Egg rolls out of nest into the tray when hen leaves.) Some chickens insist on nests with bedding but over time most of them will switch.
    • Collect the eggs once or twice daily.
    • Keep broody hens out of the nests.
    • Provide a calcium supplement for the hens. We use oyster shell in a grit station.
  2. If the eggs are soiled, clean them or discard them. Nothing turns buyers off more than a dirty or stained egg. Sometimes cleaning can be done by dry brushing. But some must be washed.
  3. Use our digital egg scale to make sure eggs are of a uniform size in each carton.
  4. Put eggs in attractive colorful cartons. Appearance matters. It shows that you care about the details, which in turn inspires buyer confidence in your product.
  5. Emphasize their freshness. And eggs must always be fresh! Discard eggs that become old. Don’t sell them!
  6. Create uniqueness. Use egg stamps and cartons to promote and grow your brand! Also, share your farm’s unique story­—folks want to know their farmer
