Pastured Poultry & Eggs

Unlike the challenges with red meat processing, poultry producers are exempt from the requirement that they use USDA or state facilities under the 1000 and 20,000 bird exemptions. These resources provide information on operating under exemptions to the Poultry Processing Inspection Act.

Laws and regulations addressing egg sales for small producers are governed at the national level by the Federal Egg Rule. Many states further restrict or regulate egg production and sales to address key areas of production including safety, registration, grading, and more. These resources provide an overview of federal laws and common state laws.
