Sold every egg on the place today - 4 dozen and one and a half dozen bantam eggs too!!

Eggs laid today, are boxed up now, ready to go out on the lane in the morning.

One lady told me today that she had been buying supermaket free range eggs, but the taste of our eggs was miles better.

Did have one eye raising moment when three people turned up at once  - and just half a dozen eggs left......exit one triumphant lady, and two disapointed ones .....at least they did not start a fight which is something!!!

Great stuff, good luck!

Most of ours are reserved - we only have the odd box for the road end and WE only get very dirty or misshapen ones, much to Dan's disgust 

Still, got my next 40 layers doing away nicely under the heatlamp

Do you just put up a sign and let people come up to the house?

[Roxy]

Jonny, I do not actually live where my holding is any more.  It is on a country lane, but quite busy with people taking short cuts to and from work, school run etc.  I put up signs facing both ways, and just put a plastic lidded box out with the eggs boxed up.  People help themselves, and leave the money in the box.  Had a few "incidents" where either money or eggs have gone, but on the whole, people are honest, and like the fact I trust them, I think.  Got regulars now, some once a week, others every two weeks.  Sometimes find a note in the empty egg boxes they leave "  Thank you from the blue van man - your eggs are fantastic!"  Compliments like that cheer me up!!

All mine get sold as soon as they are laid. Ducks as well. Now I have some goose eggs - what do they sell for?

Do you just put up a sign and let people come up to the house?

We have a sign at the gate, which can be taken down when they are not laying, and an honesty box attached to the fence.  We don't put out more than 4 boxes at a time, sometimes only one and we have never had any stolen. Like Roxy, we find people love to be trusted.
It wouldn't work for us if people came to the house, partly as we are rarely in it - with the honesty box they can get eggs when there's no-one home.
We do often see people when they come and have met many interesting people through our eggs.
We find that some days no-one buys any, then suddenly everyone comes together and it's almost a bunfight to get a box    I need more hens but want them at pol, and specific breeds/hybrids to keep up the varied coloured eggs our customers love.
