Gibson Ridge Farm

Gibson Ridge Farm began as a family operation focused on raising chickens on pasture and became certified organic. The farm's journey included hand-washing thousands of eggs, which led to the development of a portable egg washer. This innovation was born out of necessity and collaboration with a retired farmer and a machine shop. Over time, they have sold nearly 350 portable egg washers, significantly aiding other farmers in their egg-washing processes.

The farm employs pasture-raising methods for their chickens, ensuring the animals have access to open land, which contributes to healthier and more nutritious eggs and meat. Their commitment to organic certification underscores a dedication to avoiding synthetic chemicals and promoting ecological balance. The development of the portable egg washer also reflects a practical approach to improving farm efficiency and sustainability.

Gibson Ridge Farm's products, including eggs, meat, ornamental grass, and seasonal vegetables and berries, are available for purchase directly on the farm and at the Athens Farmer's Market. The portable egg washer, a significant innovation from the farm, has garnered attention and appreciation from the farming community, with numerous testimonials praising its efficiency and time-saving capabilities.
