Can I Sell Chicken Eggs in Oregon?
If you want to start selling eggs in the state of Oregon, you’ll need to be aware of the rules and regulations set by the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
I recommend starting with this; Rules and Regulations for the Oregon Shell Egg Producer document.
This document outlines the rules and regulations for selling shell eggs, which essentially means the things you need to know about how to sell chicken eggs lawfully.
It covers:
- Egg handler’s licensing
- Egg fees and egg permit numbers
- How to properly label cartons and cases
- Invocing
- Safe handling instructions
- How to candle and Grade eggs
- And more.
Do I Need a License to Sell Chicken Eggs in Oregon?
The first thing most people want to know when they are considering selling eggs from their backyard flock or starting an egg farm is whether or not they need a license.
The rules on licensing in Oregon are as follows:
You are required to have an egg handler’s license if your eggs are to be sold at:
- Retail establishments
- Food service establishments
- Food processors
- and or food distributors
You do not need a license if your eggs are to be sold directly to the consumer (from the farm, farmers market, on route off producer’s farm directly to individual for home consumption).
Licensing isn’t something you can ignore, if you’re in doubt about your status you should always contact the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
Not All Eggs Are Equal
If you enjoy eggs - and I’m sure you do - you’ll be well aware there can be a huge difference in the taste and quality of one egg to another.
This is because not all eggs are equal - far from it.
The interesting thing is that the taste is not to do with the breed of the hen that laid the egg, it’s to do with how the hens are being treated at the farm.
At the least, you should always look for eggs that are labeled as ‘free range’ or ‘cage free’ as a starting point.
Caged or battery hens are generally kept in dire conditions. It’s a dated practice - that does still happen - but it’s cruel and inhumane to keep hens caged up all day.
Not only is it inhumane, but caged hens’ eggs suffer in quality as a result. The only ‘plus’, if you can call it that, is that these eggs cost less.
But trust me, it’s not worth saving a few pennies for eggs that taste so much worse than ethically produced eggs.
In addition to this, hens deserve to have excellent living conditions. They should be treated well, fed a good quality feed, and have a high standard of care.
Happy chickens are healthy chickens, and healthy chickens lay the best eggs. This is why I always look into how egg farms treat their chickens.
You’ll notice that any farm with ethical and healthy practices will be proud to talk about it on their site and plaster it all over their egg boxes.
