About the Farm

Background

The farm has become a staple in the community, known for its fresh pastured eggs and participation in local events such as the Dinwiddie County Fair and Rassawek Spring Jubilee. Over the years, it has expanded its offerings to include gourmet granola, pumpkin loaf, and even Postum™ products. The farm also engages with the community through various educational events and classes, making it a hub for local agricultural education and family-friendly activities.

Practices

Hens are given unfettered access to large green pastures where they forage for critters and greens, significantly reducing their reliance on commercial feed during the summer. Fresh water is available on demand to ensure the hens remain well-hydrated, which contributes to better egg quality. At night, the hens are protected by solar-powered motion sensor lighting and electric fencing, ensuring their safety from predators. The farm's approach emphasizes the natural behaviors and well-being of the hens, allowing them to choose their own diet and live in a secure environment.

The Rest

The farm hosts a variety of events and classes, including beekeeping demonstrations, horse riding camps, and poultry processing workshops. Visitors can find the farm's booth at local fairs, marked by a giant inflatable chicken. The farm also offers unique products like Paleo Coconut Almond Honey Granola and the 'Moistest' Pumpkin Loaf, available for purchase online. Educational events such as Earth Day SpringFest and Baby Animal Farm Day provide hands-on experiences and learning opportunities for all ages.
