Chicken Chaser
SOOOO to all you South Carolina egg people that might want to sell your eggs at a Farmers Market, you need to apply for an Egg License.

If you want to sell out of your house/farm/land you can post a sign saying Eggs for Sale, and "at least" wash the eggs in bleach and refrigerate them to 45 degrees. This goes counter to everything I've learned here, as that would remove the protective barrier called the "bloom" and by doing that causes the egg to have to be refrigerated. If I leave the bloom on, there's no need to put them in the fridge.
Just wanted to sell fresh eggs without doing a lot of work to cover some of my expenses, but if I have to do all that, I'd charge about $10 a dozen instead of the going rate around here of $3 by word of mouth.
