Young Farmer Shows Business Smarts and Big Heart

An 11-year-old boy in North Carolina is making a difference in his community through his small business and generous spirit.

Meet Rylan and His Flock

Rylan Robbins isn't your average kid. He's the proud owner of 21 chickens that keep him quite busy. His feathered friends produce between 18 and 20 eggs every single day. That's a lot of eggs!

A Growing Business

About a year ago, Rylan turned his egg collection into a proper business called "Rylan's Eggs." He takes his work seriously - each egg gets stamped with his personal logo before it leaves his farm.

Going Against the Market

What makes Rylan's story special is what he's doing with his eggs. Right now, eggs in his area are selling for $6 to $7 per dozen. That's pretty expensive! But Rylan sells his eggs for just $3 a dozen to a local bakery.

The Heart Behind the Business

Rylan knows he could charge more for his eggs. With prices so high, he could make extra money. But he doesn't want to do that. The local bakery has been a loyal customer, and Rylan wants to help them out during these times of high egg prices.

More Than Money

This young entrepreneur understands something many adults sometimes forget - business isn't just about making as much money as possible. It's also about building relationships and helping your community.

Rylan's story shows us that even at 11 years old, you can run a business with both your head and your heart. His chickens may be laying eggs, but Rylan is planting seeds of goodwill throughout his community.
