It has a section where all of the industry terms are explained, which is helpful. You can also get a good idea of just how big and important the egg industry is in NC.

If you’re interested in selling eggs in NC, whether that’s selling a few spares from your backyard flock or starting a large egg farming business, you should read up on the North Carolina Egg Law.

The Egg Law explains everything you need to know about how to handle laying hens and eggs in a sanitary and lawful manner, as well as how to properly label eggs for sale.

There are different laws depending on how big your operation is but don’t be put off, it’s not that difficult to start an egg-selling business.

Selling eggs is a rewarding and profitable business model when done right. Personally, I love knowing that people are eating high-quality, healthy eggs from ethically raised hens.

Remember - Not All Eggs Are Equal!

If you enjoy eggs and you’ve tried eggs from several farms, you’ll be well aware there can be a huge difference in the taste and quality from one egg to another.

Much to most people’s surprise, the taste isn’t to do with the breed of the hen that laid the egg.

It’s actually all to do with how the hens are being treated, which is why it’s imperative that you buy from an ethical egg farm.

As a starting point, you should always look for eggs that are labeled as ‘free range’ or ‘cage free’.

Caged or battery hens are kept in small cages, it’s horrible and stressful for the hens.

Not only is it cruel and inhumane to keep hens caged up all day, but the result is also eggs lacking in taste and nutritional content.

Ideally, hens should have space to roam free-range and be able to graze on bugs, insects, and other natural things they want to eat - as well as being fed a high-quality, nutritional feed.

In addition to this, they should have excellent living conditions and a high standard of care.

The bottom line is; happy chickens are healthy chickens, and healthy chickens lay the best eggs.

If you taste a free-range egg from a chicken on a high-quality diet and compare it to a battery hen, there is a world of difference.
