Chickens and Eggs
EggsWe sell our farm fresh eggs direct to the consumer - You. Our hens produce beautiful, healthy eggs that are hand collected, washed and packaged right here on our farm. If you are interested in picking up some eggs, please contact us using the form below or give us a call to find out about availability. We guarantee our eggs - you will be satisfied or we will refund your money. People often come back after trying the eggs (for the novelty of eating some farm fresh eggs) and are very quickly convinced of the difference between our farm eggs and even the organic or "free range" eggs they used to buy at the grocery store. Want to know why farm direct eggs cost more? The simple answer is crude: we don't feed them other animals feces. Here is a great comparison article from another farmer. Eggs are $4.00 per dozen.
Pasture Raised, Farm Fresh Chicken2010 brings a new addition to our farm - pasture raised poultry. For those of you looking for healthy meat that was raised in a loving environment, on fresh pastures, only minutes from your home, you only need to wait a little while longer. After too many articles and seeing even one movie or clip about how commercial factories process (raise) the meat we eat, it's hard to purchase those birds anymore. That said, our family is made up of meat eaters and the best thing we could do is to raise our own meats. We have chosen some very specific methods to raising our chickens, including Polyface Farm's Pastured Poultry Method and believe we create an amazing end product, reasonably priced all while giving the chickens a happy healthy life. OK, so they will have a bad few minutes in the end, but we use humane methods and will continue to look toward more in the future.If you are interested, feel free to drop us a note below OR you click on the order form to download (IMAGE TO YOUR LEFT), fill out the order form and send it in. We were going to write more about the Pastured Poultry Farming Practices we implement, but found Paul Hebert's farm in Virginia that did such an exceptional job, we wanted to give him credit and share his website with you. ManureOne question that always comes up is, "what do you do with all that manure from all those animals you have?"Great question! We compose everything. All the manures as well as some of our household food scraps & even egg shells go into one of two piles, which get rotated with the tractor and as it ages, becomes this absolutely gorgeous, black compost with tons of worms in it. It gets put to work in our gardens around the farm - both visual as well as our edible gardens have all seen huge growth and improvement since we started using it. Have you seen our Plants & Produce page? Once you see some of our plants & vegetables, you'll see why we don't mind "all that" manure. We do end up with our share to give away as well. If you are interested in some great compost, please drop us a note and we will let you know what we have available.

This keeps them healthy and happy. No wonder our fresh eggs are hard to beat. The yolks are golden & firm and actually taste like eggs - quite a satisfying feeling.
