License and more Egg Cartons

January 22nd, 2013
Laughing Duck Farm | Blog

I’m official - I got my Chicken Wrangler/Egg Handler license back in the mail, so I can sell eggs in a few stores and the Sierra Foothill Producers Coop.  I was waiting to buy egg cartons with Karin Sinclair to save a little money on a bulk order, then saw the company she was ordering from had some very nicely printed open view cartons that had marketing merchandise you could purchase, and a free listing on their website Local Hens. 

Those cartons struck me, I really liked the design and the idea that with them and a few signs my eggs could have a professional presence in the store.  I visualized those cartons in a refrigerated case and decided if I was shopping they would catch my eye and I would want to take a closer look.  Once picked up one can see the cheery variety of colored eggs peeking out, green, blue, brown, pink.  My Gourmet Combo would definitely stand out in these.

At that point I think we are looking at “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”...I think chances are they will want to take them home.

Two farms are starting from scratch.

They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.

Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.
