Well, the first time didn't go through, so here goes again:
 

This is my first time posting, so we'll see if this goes through OK.

 

1.  For those of you who sell eggs, especially in Iowa after the big egg hubbub last summer, do you carry special insurance to cover you in case someone says he/she ate some eggs bought from you, then got sick?  Liability nightmare? 

 

2.  Do you use new egg cartons that are unmarked or marked with your farm name, or do you use second-hand cartons or some other container that the customer brings? 

 

I've been thinking of selling some eggs and possibly increasing my flock, but this egg scare last summer has me rethinking the idea quite closely.  I don't want to bring the whole family finances down just for some chickies.  Just wondering what other people do and how they're managing.

 

By the way, I've been reading the Market-Farm list for quite some time and really appreciate the time and effort you folks put in trying to help others on the list.  Just thought I'd let you know.
