Eggs for Sale now!

Little Sprouts Farm is proud to announce that for the first time ever, our pastured, free range, organic fed, heritage breed eggs are for sale off farm! We are taking all the extras we are producing and offering them for sale for the winter, when farm fresh eggs are hard to come by. The supply will  not be consistent, but we should have a few every week through the winter.

We decided to test a novel idea in selling these. Instead of set price, we are asking people to "pay what they are worth to you". We built a little "portable egg stand" out of an old irrigation pipe carrier, an ice chest, and some homemade laminated signs. We filled it with a few dozen extra eggs and placed it at the end of hte driveway. Inside is a mason jar to place hte money and a sign that says :

In the store these eggs would sell for $5 per dozen. Please pay what you think they are worth to you

It will be interesting to see how well this works!
