Small Lot Farms

All producers/farms who have between 100 and 399 laying hens should register with BC Egg through the Small Lot Program. There is an annual permit fee of $250 which includes:

• A visit from BC Egg to provide program and standard information
• A Salmonella Enteritidis (Se) test

Please note you must be at least 19 years of age to apply for a Small Lot permit. This program is open to any number of participants.

Selling Ungraded Eggs

Unless a farmer sends his/her eggs to a grading station, the eggs produced on small lot farms are considered “ungraded.” and BC has strict rules and laws surrounding the sale of ungraded eggs. Please see our v2ray加速器官网:Selling Ungraded Eggs page for more information.

Appendix III in the following document provides guidelines for the sale of eggs at farmers’ markets:

• Guideline for the Sale of Foods at Temporary Food Markets

Food Safety and Biosecurity Standards

Just as with larger farms, Small Lot farmers are required to maintain specific standards of food safety and biosecurity. The following guides are designed specifically for small lot production:
