I have seen flats or
cartons online for goose eggs, but they were not inexpensive (specialty
item). We blew them out and sold a few for crafting. I think that is where
the market is, but I have not tapped into it well. I wrapped a couple up
and a box and took to market and put on the table in a basket for $2 and sold
maybe a half dozen. I sold a few whole, the same price, to someone who was going
to blow them out - eat the egg and have the shell.
Online blown eggs are
more than $2 ea in small quantities, but it seems local crafters have made
connections with folks who have a goose or two and get the eggs really
cheap.
Don't mean to sound
negative. If our market was open earlier (opens mid-June), I would take
goose eggs, padded, in clamshells. I think they would sell, if only for the
novelty factor.
Cook with a few. Folks
will ask if they are different from a chicken egg. The whites are firmer than
chicken eggs, which means it is easy to flip an omelet. It also means that sunny
side up or over easy is a little rubbery.
Good luck.

Line says you sell pastured duck and
geese. I've got a goose question for you. Do you sell your
eggs? If so, how do you package them? We got geese last Oct for
weeding and hey, they just started laying. I'm thinking to sell the eggs
at the market and/or CSA this year but I've never seen egg cartons big
enough. Anyone know where I can get something like that?
