Welcome to The Farm

• Toxin free
• Feed free of chemicals means layers without diet related health issues that produce nutrient dense healthy eggs
• Healthy soil! When layers manure the pasture the quality of the soil depends on the quality of the feed that is given to the chickens

More...producing a nutrient dense egg on an almost daily basis requires a high calorie and protein diet. Our chickens live on the pasture but cannot sustain on forage alone. The main source of their diet is organically certified feed. 

Regular feed or non-GMO feed can contain herbicides, pesticides and fungicides that are widely used in growing corn, soybean, wheat and other crops that are the main ingredients in chicken feed. Traces of these chemicals are making their way into the eggs that the chicken produce and into the manure that goes into the soil and into YOU if you eat non-organic eggs.

• Physically healthy, stress free birds as there is plenty of space to roam and forage. These means less stress hormones transmitted into eggs and you. 
• Chickens are free to peck and scratch supplementing their diet with protein rich bugs, worms and grubs 
• High quality nutritious eggs
• Chickens regenerate the pasture as they manure the land  

Chickens are not meant to live in tiny enclosures subsisting on grain alone. Raised on pasture they are free to scratch and peck as they are getting their natural nutrition from bugs, worms and grubs which increases their protein intake. The physical activity, better nutrition, and low stress levels result in healthier chickens and a superior egg quality for consumption.
