The Great Chicken-N-Egg Barter Co-op:

Rethinking Agricultural Partnerships

In today's world of rising food costs and disconnection from our food sources, we're excited to introduce a revolutionary approach to agricultural partnerships that benefits everyone involved. The Great Chicken-N-Egg Barter Co-op is pioneering a new model that connects urban consumers with rural production in a mutually beneficial relationship.

The Problem We're Solving

With egg prices hitting $4.95 per dozen in January 2025, many families are feeling the pinch at checkout. Meanwhile, small-scale farmers face increasing costs and market uncertainties. Traditional solutions often fall short:

• Backyard chickens require space, time, knowledge, and dealing with regulations
• Store-bought eggs disconnect consumers from production and quality control
• Small farmers struggle to achieve economies of scale

Our Innovative Solution: The Co-op Barter Model

The Great Chicken-N-Egg Barter Co-op creates a unique partnership between members and farmers. Here's how it works:

1. One-time sponsorship: Members sponsor a flock with a one-time contribution (starting at $82 for two chickens)
2. Professional management: We handle all aspects of raising the chickens at our rural facilities
3. Barter exchange: Members receive annual coupons based on their flock's production
4. No hands-on required: Members enjoy the benefits without the hassle of chicken keeping

Your sponsorship covers the care and maintenance of your flock for the entire contract period ending December 31, 2028.

What Members Receive

• Annual egg coopons: Coupons valued at approximately $2.00 per dozen based on your flock's production * We are anticipating a coupon every 9 days, After production starts, 
   
• Redemption options: Annual coupon distribution or electronic coupons for participating stores
• No mess, no stress: Skip the daily chores, cleaning, and neighbor complaints
• Sustainable partnership: Support responsible farming practices

For a standard two-chicken sponsorship, you can expect coupons representing approximately 41 dozen eggs annually.
