Exactly. My eggs would be wasted otherwise so I sell for $3/ dz to coworkers or friends. I also barter with people in my circle. So many dz eggs for a jar of local honey or homemade maple syrup— makes everyone happy.I refuse to go higher than $3/doz here in PA because of sheer principle and the fact that I have people that need to eat without breaking the bank.
And you can't really put a price on that.I get stress relief by having my chickens to care for, and that is all I need to get out of it.
Price has been dropping back down here too.I'm wondering if the bubble has burst, here in Michigan, or in my area, anyway. When I first started getting eggs, the "cheap" eggs were $1.89/dozen. The highest I saw was a few weeks ago, when they were $5.09. Last week they were back down to $3.29. These are large eggs, with no claim of "cage free" or anything special.
I don't have enough to sell. The nearest Fresh Egg stand was selling for $3, but then went up to $5. My neighbor sells some if she has extra, but I didn't think to ask her price.
