Best Eggs Ever ~

 

What makes our eggs so special?  At Thistles & Clover, we go beyond 'cage-free'...beyond 'free-range.'  Our flock of laying hens actually free range out of their fleet of mobile homes.  Their homes are moved onto a fresh section of pasture every day or two.  This means that our laying hens have a constant supply of fresh pasture grasses in their diet.  

Many other farmers house their hens in stationary buildings which the hens can 'free-range' out of.  The problem with that model, is that hens will only stray so far from their home, and so any available grass is quickly scratched down to dirt.  Thus the hens' diet, and the eggs that they subsequently produce become soley products of what is fed to them by the farmer.  Even the best feed can't match a diet that includes lush, vitamin rich pasture grasses.  

Because our hens forage for a significant amount of their diet on pasture, their eggs are nutritionally superior and unmatched for flavor.  

 

Eggs are available by the dozen

 

Broiler Chickens ~

 

We raise these birds from baby chicks.  After 2 weeks in a brooder, they are moved onto grass.  We house them in a portable shelter, which we rotate across our pasture.  Broilers receive freshly ground, nutritious feed that includes corn, soy, oats and alfalfa.  By about 8 weeks, the birds are ready to be dressed.  Most of our broilers dress out at about 4 - 4 ½ pounds.  Once you try them you'll never go back to store-bought!  Ask to be put on our email list if you'd like to be notified when we start accepting reservations.

 

Grass-fed Beef ~ 

 

Our cattle spend their days in the pasture.   We rotationally graze our herd which means they are moved onto a new area of pasture, usually once a day. We do not use antibiotics or hormones to stimulate growth. We always use low-stress handling methods with our cattle.
