Can I Sell Chicken Eggs in North Dakota?

If you want to sell chicken eggs in North Dakota, you need to be aware of the licensing, laws, and regulations you need to follow.

To find out what you need to do you’ll need to either contact the North Dakota Department of Agriculture or read up on their website.

To help you out, I’ve found this North Dakota’s Guide to Direct Farm Marketing document.

This document explains what the North Dakota state laws and regulations are regarding the direct sale of eggs and other produce at farmers' markets.

I’ll also provide a link to the Cottage Food Act in North Dakota, too. The Cottage Food Act is what allows for the sale of uninspected, homemade cottage food products to an informed, end consumer for at-home consumption.

It’s under this act that egg sellers selling farm flock eggs may get licensed as egg dealers and approved by the North Dakota Department of Agriculture under North Dakota Administrative Code Article 7-11.

What Makes a Good Egg Farm?

This comes as a surprise to most, but the quality and taste of an egg does not depend on the breed of chicken.

It depends on the quality of the environment and living conditions of the hen that laid it.

There is a saying in the egg industry, “the happier the hen, the healthier they are, the healthier they are, the better their eggs.”

It makes perfect sense, who wouldn’t want happy hens. But what exactly makes a hen happy and healthy?

The basic needs of hens are; good quality nutrition, excellent living conditions, and plenty of space to free-range.

Ideally, hens should be able to roam free-range as much as they like. This is the most important consideration, caged hens are just not acceptable.

In addition to having plenty of space, their living conditions should be excellent. This means, they’re safe from the threat of predators, not cramped, are warm and in clean conditions, etc.

The taste of an egg is related to what a hen eats, which shouldn’t come as a surprise.

You can’t always check what commercial food hens are being given, but knowing they’re able to roam free-range and graze on bugs and plants is a huge plus.

If possible, you should always visit an egg farm in person. You get to see and find out so much more by visiting a location and seeing it with your own eyes.

Most farms welcome this, and it’s a great way to see for yourself how they’re running their business and caring for their hens.
