Small-Scale Egg Producers Survey

The Carolina Farm Stewardship Association is trying to identify ways to balance regulatory burdens on small-scale egg producers while ensuring public health and orderly markets. To develop information for that evaluation, we are asking small-scale NC egg producers to complete a survey. Your information will be kept confidential and results of the survey will only be reported in aggregate form. If you are an egg producer marketing your own eggs at farmers markets, to local retailers and restaurants, or to other local foods venues, please take a couple of minutes to respond to this short, 15 question survey.
