Egg Business

 Our first egg showed up much earlier then expected, on Aug 10 when we were away on holidays and had our friends watching the place for us. It was a slow start and more eggs came in waves, a month and a half later we are at 80-90 eggs a day (6-7 Dozen) and still have a little bit more room to grow till we are at full production. It's been a really fun setting up the business side of things to labels, expense and income tracking, and marketing. I was so thrilled when I came across this logo, cast iron pans and chickens are both favorites of Jared so it seemed quite fitting๐Ÿ˜Š

You know your a chicken farmer's wife we you get a egg bubbler installed in your kitchen ๐Ÿ˜Š

Egg washing and packing has become the norm every evening now. It is quite a relaxing task, and has given me extra motivation to have the kitchen more tidy after dinner. 
Our pallet of egg cartons that thankfully survived the trip up from the valley, the last hour or so of the trip was very wet! 
A nice full egg basket! Two days worth at that stage in the game. 
Packing up a few dozen for egg deliveries in town.
Packaged flats for our large order egg customers. 
Egg sizes have been taking their time balancing out, some are extra large while we are still getting the occasional peewee.
Cracked out to be a double-yoke and a no-yoke๐Ÿ˜„

Excited to see where this egg business takes us, 92 dozen sold and counting! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜ฒ

  1. Exciting to see a business plan come together. Farm to table is a big deal, people are so tired of big box store "food." Hope you can keep up with roles you have, your job description keeps on growing!
