We are so in the habit of comparing the prices on purchased items...

I would wish that we all had many options, and that we could choose a

higher quality product if a farmer was willing to produce one, even if it

meant that the price for eggs and milk would be higher!

If I could find really deep-orange eggs, I'd certainly be willing to pay

more for them!! If I could find grassfed Jersey milk from a farmer who

really took care of his soil, I'd certainly be willing to pay more for it!

Those who can find very high-quality eggs and milk should consider

themselves lucky, no matter the price!

Hi All

Here in Ne we charge $3.00 per gallon for milk, $25.00 for cream, and

$1.50

for eggs. The eggs are produced by another farmer and we just sell them for

him. I really think people would pay $2.00 for them but they aren't our

eggs

so we sell them for what them producer asks. The milk is what ever is being

produced at the time meaning in the spring the components are lower than in

the fall but the price is 3.00 from spring to fall. I think we are going to

$4.00 this spring because of the cost of production not feeding grain. I

had

no idea what to charge for the cream but was told by a customer that she

paid

a similar price for organic cream. If you haven't cleaned or dealt with a

separator before let me say they can be a pain. : -)

Hope this helps

I don't know about the price of buying farm-direct

eggs because I raise my own, but " cage-free " (which

really doesn't mean free-ranging, it just means

they're not in tiny battery cages), organic eggs in

stores here are about $3/doz. Raw milk in stores from

Claravale Farm is about $2.50 to $3 a quart, so $10 to

$12 gallon. Their cream is about $7 a pint. Does

that make you feel better about $4/gal. raw milk?
