work out the costs of keeping your hens dont miss anything out and you will breakeven at about 80-90pence. most people find up here that anywhere between £1 - £1.5 is about right. we charge £1.20 at farmers markets and they sell fast.

hi Anni i'm in lincolnshire ...... we grow lots of veg around these parts and there's lots of agriculture and lots of open fields so that maybe keeps prices lower. to be honest I've only seen that one sign with eggs for sale and yes it does seam a bit cheap ,but then i'd always be a bit worried incase i was overcharging........ if there is a high demand then i could increase the price a bit.
Makes sense - my first sign was 70p but I nearly always got more, so my sign today says £1 - just hope those kids don't smash them again.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Lara at least work out the cost of your feed, straw, etc. etc. because undercharging puts a burden on other sellers.

We charge £1.50 per half dozen and could sell more than we produce.
