15p eggs

[John Slejpner]

on an open recyclable card tray of 30. Home delivered from the producers van passing the end of our avenue several times a week. Is this a fair price? They eat well - as well as the 18p JS barn eggs they would replace.

Charging 10 cent here

Private house close by on A10 selling, qouted "Local Free Range" @ £3 a dozen buyers cant get enough and think the seller is actually the producer. Well done I say "entrepreneur" I think they bought the house with the idea already being incubated!

We buy eggs for our farm shop from local producer. I'd say what he is charging you is fair, depending what size they are.
We buy by the tray and box them up, there's a reasonable margin but it's low value stuff so you have to sell a lot to make much. I think the wholesale price is fairly dire. Our chap also supplys a number of other people and it seems most of them make out its their own eggs, food provinance at its best!

Had a person nearby doing this, he was charging £1.50/ half dozen, getting them from local chicken farm that was charging walk up customers £1.00. He was picking them off the conveyor before they were stamped so they looked "home laid" His customers genuinely thought he had his own chickens behind his house, didn't seem to realise that the 20 dozen or so he sold each day would need quite a few chickens

I see cage eggs here packed in boxes with a picture of a nice clean hen standing outside, on the top of the box.

Neighbor takes a full tray every week at £4 = 13.3p

I cant see the farmer getting 10 pence an egg from the packers, perhaps 8p?

Big 10 eggs are 15p each in cage and 20p in free range in asda and Tesco when on offer. 6 large Tesco free range I think is £1 so 12 would be £1.95?

so if u can get £2 a dozen for mixed size or thereabouts I think you would be doing ok, reportedly the barn eggs in Sainsbury will be phased out soon, so there could be more people buying at a handy farmgate.

I agree, it is a disgrace and eggs should be £2 for half a dozen.

Similar near here. They never made any claims about where they had come from, the customers just assumed.

I was selling pastured 30 egg tray £8.50 (28p ea) so problems at all. I worked out the maths from scratch and this was the true cost plus small profit. 6 eggs = £2. Pricing in the egg carton, labelling, delivery etc some people have no maths skills.

Cheap supermarket eggs! This co has been found wanting........and it is a major supplier. To be honest I'm glad this has come to light. This is in the UK so gawd help us with imports! No I'm not a reader of this newspaper either.
