hi all
dose any of you sell your goose and duck eggs to eat
if so do you sell at the gate
and how much do you charge

[MAK]

Hi - we sell duck and chicken eggs at the gate for the same price. 1.5 € a half dozen.
Free range chicken eggs sold in a supermarket go for 1.5 - 2.0 € a half dozen.
We also sell 11 different designs of our egg holders at the road side ( also available to everyone on here - see TAS market place forum).

[lokismum]

brill do you need a licence to sell from road side or stamps
i know you don't from the gate

[MAK]

Not here we don't ( Limousin, France).
You do not see too much over the gate sales in these parts as  the locals all keep their own poultry and rabbits and have very large veg patches. All our sales are to townies who visit neighbours ( home helps, postman, doctor and the odd walker).

No you dont as long as you dont grade the eggs

[Simon O]

sell at work - £1.50 a half doz chicken eggs, £1 an egg goose eggs

[MAK]

The lad who brews beer near us tells me that his daughter lives in London and if ( and it is rare) she see goose eggs she pays £2 each. She can not sell enough of them in her cafe. Maybe an outlet on Borough market may want to buy Goose Eggs OR what about forming a TAS co-op

We sell duck eggs at the end of the road at £1.80 per 1/2 doz and sometimes hens too at £1.75

think i better put my prices up,, i charge £1half doz

[Bionic]

taz, I charge £1 for half dozen chickens eggs also

[HesterF]

Do you monitor your costs? I think £1 sounds low - it's a lot less than the supermarkets charge, especially for similar quality eggs and I imagine they cost you more than that....having said that, I'd have to charge a huge amount to cover my costs so far but they're getting better with every egg laid!

When ours lay  we charge £2.50 a dozen but they are on strike at the moment ! we buy duck eggs at £1.50 a half dozen localy

We sell our chicken and duck eggs at our dog agility club - chicken eggs £1 per 1/2 dozen and duck eggs (very large) 50p each.

I checked out the price of eggs in Sainsburys last week - 95p for 6 'value' eggs so I figure the price we are charging is very good, especially considering how tasty they are.

"THE OH WILL LET ME HAVE DUCKS AND CHICKENS "

We are settling out now at about 4 dozen per week average at dog agility club.  My hubby is a gardener and is customers have started to get wise and ask for eggs too.     We haven't started our gate sales this year as we won't have enough at the moment!

With regards to price - there is a house along the road from us that sells for 80p 1/2 dozen and they go for £1.20 1/2 dozen at our local farmers market so I figure our price is about right.  Obviously, where you are in the country will affect prices.
