About the Farm
Background
In January 2007, the farm made a pivotal decision to remove all soy from their chickens' feed, marking a significant shift in their farming practices.
Practices
The chickens are raised on pasture, allowing them to free-range on the farm's acreage every day. They are not fed any soy, hormones, antibiotics, or drugs, and their feed is sourced locally. The same methods are applied to the ducks raised on the farm.
The Rest
The farm offers 'rainbow' eggs from various chicken breeds in three different sizes. Duck eggs are available most of the year, and they also provide hatching eggs and live chickens and ducks upon request.
