• A little bit about Us •

We are a small multi generational family farm and homestead. We run our farm holistically and non GMO/Organic. I make our own feed and ferment it for the chickens. Our chickens are an integral part of our permaculture farm and are more then just livestock.

We have raised quality laying hens for many years. And still continue to do so. I am a self taught flock keeper and expand my knowledge base about my birds daily. I am constantly striving to improve my flock and management practices, to ultimately offer a better bird to you! Things that are prioritized on our farm are breeding birds to the standard set for them (this is a work in progress and I am constantly selecting for improvements at every hatch), production, temperament (both with humans, pets, and within the flock dynamics). I believe that human aggression as well as other temperament traits are hereditary and should be selected against in a breeding program. It is my goal to provide birds that are a joy to care for and are 100% safe around small children and the elderly. Every year our breeder flock improves, I learn more, and we offer new breeds for various purposes. This year we added in broody breeds that also make wonderful pets - silkies and bantam Cochins! Our next project we will be adding self blue Bantam Ameraucana's and Erminnette. We are very passionate about the quality of bird that we offer and are always striving to make improvements. We take a holistic approach to raising our birds and prioritize natural brooding and management.

This year we intend to add a broody coop just for our broody breeds to sit and raise young. It is my belief from observation through the years that hens have much higher hatch rates with lower mortality and disease. Chicks raised by a broody hen also seem healthier, more vigorous and bright, and have better immune function overall. I have also observed that those chicks are accepted into a flock much easier then their incubator raised counterparts and are taught much healthier flock dynamics that help them be a well accepted flockmates to other flocks when they leave our farm. We are setting up to brood chicks this way this year and are currently growing out our little mother's as I write this! Those babies should be available next spring 🌷

Please feel free to message me anytime. I'm more then happy to answer questions and help make sure you pick the right breeds and varieties for your specific location and lifestyle. It is very important to us that our customers are completely satisfied and that the chicks they get from us find forever homes and fulfill the purpose they are intended for at their new home.
