So, what does everyone sell at their farm gates, and what rules and regs do you have to comply with and what are your prices?

I currently sell eggs, i don't have to comply with anything selling them this way, other than to register that i have over 50birds.  I also sell bagged Manure.  The eggs are £2 per half dozen (totally free range birds) and the manure is £2 for bags that are around 25-30kgs

Having no farm gates left to sell , i don't sell anything now . I may start doing car boot sales , but most cars i see already have boots , so that may be a loser too !
As for complying , erm nope not guilty , i don't !

Just eggs.

£1.70 FOR A DOZEN!!!!!!  Some people around here sell for £1.50. Ive just put my price up this year.

No passing trade and most people have hens.

I sell eggs to the shop for £1.30, to anyone else for £1.50, but just back from Asda where they see their free range eggs for an astonishing £1.90. Shocking.

[holz306]

wow...my eggs are expensive!!  but then free range eggs in the co-op here are £2.10 half dozen, and they're nowhere near as good....and i have to drive a 160mile round trip to buy their feed.  everyone is delighted with the eggs and it was actually the customers that suggested that mine were way to cheap at £1.50!

[in the hills]

Dizzycow- is that for a dozen or half dozen?

I agree. Our eggs are much better than supposed free range from the supermarket. But few customers here and lots of people have hens!

For the first time, I sold eggs at the gate over the weekend. I charged £1.50 for half a dozen, either duck eggs or pretty hens eggs (each box has cream, light brown, very dark brown and blue in it).

I put an honesty box (labelled as such) and had no problems, sold four dozen and everyone paid for them 

[little blue]

£1.50 - £2 for 6 (depends who I'm them to, loyalty is important to me!!)

They're organic but not free range (foxes, dogs, poor fencing next door) & people say they are the best
Some of them are enormous too (the eggs, not my customers! )

Duck & quail eggs the same, its easier

I sell to friends & family, at the gate, at work (I ask/remind via facebook sometimes!)

[knight_family]

We sell them for a £1 and to friends 80p (breaks even) the trouble is we have lots of people with chickens around so hence the low price.

I will say this covers the cost of the birds and feed etc, if you forget of the initial set-up cost of coop and electric fence.

we sell for £1 for 6 hens only
the turkey eggs we eat, or incubate..... some friends have them to try burt they usually get them for free

[katie]

I sell for £1.00 per half dozen from the farm gate. I am registered for more than fifty hens, have to use new boxes and not grade the eggs by size.

[Dizzycow]

£1.50 for 6 hens, £2 for 6 duck.

I don't sell mine at the gate as we are no where near the road! however my neighbour who is on the road does he charges £2 half a dozen £3 a dozen however he has just given me 20 of his hens as sadly people kept stealing the eggs so he now only keeps enough hens for himself and the holiday cottages he has,there is also a lady around the corner who sells jams and chutneys but the same thing happened people kept stealing them,its only in the last year this has happened.Such a shame.
I'm very lucky in that i go to dog training ever week and that's were i sell mine all to friends,i charge £1 a half dozen £2 a dozen,
If i didn't get the feed wholesale price then i would prob charge a bit more,but im glad i can rid of them all rather than they get wasted.

[Fleecewife]

I sell eggs at the gate - hen eggs £1.50 for 6, bantam eggs £1.20 for 6

I also sell surplus garden produce but sporadically, and jam when I have it.  I don't sell chutney because it takes SOOooo long to make and I keep it for the family.

I sell sheep meat, but not at the gate, just to a few regular customers.

I may sell plants this year if I have left overs.

Our really nice postie is forever wanting to buy our veggies but I don't like selling to him as he is a fit young man and could so easily grow his own (his parents have a huge garden), whereas I am in not the greatest health and really struggle to grow what I do.  Seems all wrong letting an old granny grow his veggies for him

I sell hen eggs at £1.25 per half dozen and Duck eggs at £2.00 per half dozen.I usually sell fruit and veg when it is available too,jams,chutneys and pickles too though they do not sell very well around here,except my home made Bhut Jolokia and Naga Morich chutney,these sell like hot cakes excuse the pun! Strange as being in the middle of an traditional English Farming community.
