Chickens

We focus on both layers and broilers for our family needs on the homestead. We eat chicken weekly and grow to offer to our guests, eco-experiences, and workshops.

All our chickens eat a diverse diet of greens, seeds, bugs, kitchen scraps, and organic pellets as they free range over their own 1/4 acre.

Chickens contribute so much to the life cycle of our farm and when not seasonally free ranging, chickens are vital to keeping our compost systems thriving with their unique ability to turn the pile as they add their contribution while search out scrumptious bug treats. Their eggshells are an excellent source of calcium and minerals for our soils (which have been measured to benefit from more calcium).

Inquire directly for available day old chicks, fertile hatching eggs, roosters, and chicken processing classes.

All livestock have access to protective shelters with clean bedding, fresh food, diverse forage, and clean water each day.

*Having a farm has meant people often ask us to take their animals that they can no longer tend to for so many reasons. We do not accept all donated animals but try to help them find a home if we cannot fit them into our systems.
