[QUOTE="The Ruminant, post: 7031843, member: 487"] I’m intrigued when farmers sell eggs at a lower price than Sainsburys charges for their premium eggs (£5 per dozen on their website) or Waitrose (£6.40 per dozen). Surely farm-fresh ought to be a premium product and the price charged accordingly? I’m not criticising you personally, I hasten to add, it’s a common occurrence in farming - we undervalue our time and our produce. I’m planning to sell my pastured eggs at 90p each or £5 for half a dozen. If I go into a petrol station they’ll expect me to pay £1.20 - £1.30 for a crunchie, kit-Kat etc - that’s nothing to the normal punter - so 90p for something as wholesome as an egg seems excellent value. Likewise in the pub, £5 for a pint is normal now in many places, half a dozen eggs for the same price, whilst not as much fun, is surely better value? [/QUOTE]
