Nevada Department of Agriculture Application for Direct Marketing of Poultry Eggs Questionnaire There are many levels of oversight when it comes to the sale of farm fresh eggs. Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) regulations describe requirements for grades and labeling of eggs. Health departments typically regulate the safe handling of eggs and may require an additional permit or other licensing for you to sell your eggs. Please contact your local health department for information about these additional requirements. Producers who want to sell shell eggs (domestic fowl) need to obtain an NDA-issued producer’s certificate and must complete the following questionnaire to be submitted with the application for producer certificate. The information contained in this questionnaire will be verified with an on-farm inspection performed by the Nevada Department of Agriculture. If you have questions, please contact NDA in Sparks 775-353-3677.
