Farm Fresh Eggs ~

 

Our flock of laying hens is made up of beautiful and rare breeds.  Our hens spend their days in the sun, munching on green grass and an occasional bug. We offer them freshly-ground feed which includes an organic vitamin/mineral mix, corn, soymeal, oats, and alfalfa.  The hens have plenty to space in their chicken house to lay their eggs and to safely roost at night.  The eggs produced by these hens have deep orange yolks and substantial whites. 

 

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 pen, which we move onto fresh grass each morning.  Broilers receive the same nutritious feed given to our laying hens (see "eggs" above).  By about 8 weeks, the birds are ready to be dressed.  We do all of the processing ourselves, or, if we are lucky, a few neighbors show up to help.  Most of our broilers dress out at 4 ½ to 5 ½ pounds and they are delicious.

 

Broilers are sold by the bird

 

Grassfed 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.
