Authentic Farm Flavour in Every Bite

Eggs
Farm eggs have noticeably darker yolks, stronger whites, and lovely flavour. Some chickens when fed a high corn diet will lay a very bright orange yolk, we find that corn is too fattening and hard on the hen's lifespan. So we feed our hens a grain blend with some added vitamin and mineral supplement and of course oyster shell for the calcium.

What Can't One Use Eggs For??
Eggs are one of the most useful things in a kitchen. Have them on their own in a variety of ways, use them in sandwiches, baking, as omelettes, quiche, coating for breading meats, in burgers, you name it.
Bringing in more nutrients to your family with eggs fresh from the farm. Our hens live in big runs, indoors or out (depending on the time of year) and it shows in the eggs they produce.

If we sell it, we've raised it.
We raise everything we sell. We've built our herds from local producers, put up our own feed, and all of our livestock are butchered at small independant businesses.
When you spend a dollar here, you know it is going to stay in the rural communities and support families.
Ask us anything, if we don't have the answer, we will find it for you
FAQ
Are your eggs organic?
Unfortunately not. Since we feed them a mineral supplement to ensure they get everything they need to stay healthy as well as source our grains from nearby farmers we cannot ensure that those are all organic at this time. They are not fed a commercial feed blend, instead we grind the grains ourselves and Brian has worked very hard to figure out the best ration for their growth and health.
We are really happy that our chickens are still active and very mobile at butcher time. They do not have large fat deposits in their bodies and the meats are well developed.
Why aren't your chickens on pasture?
We would LOVE to be able to have the chickens on pasture, and this is something that we will try to develop in the future.
There are a couple factors we need to figure out for pastured chickens.
- Our pastures are currently too far from home to easily monitor water systems in the very hot summer days and to move the chicken tractors easily.
- Our guardian dogs are accustomed the the home yard, the nearest pasture would be across the highway and we are concerned if the dogs tried to come home there would be a very sad accident.
- Our chickens live in large runs in the evergreen shelterbelts of the main yard. They have done a great job of cleaning up the undergrowth and knocking down some wild hedging. We have quite a bit more shelterbelt then could tackle while in the shade of the large trees.
What medications are the chickens given?
The baby chicks are all given electrolytes when they arrive from the hatchery to ensure they drink as much as possible. Other than that they are not medicated. Any chicken that is sick or injured is removed from the group into a brooder box to rest and recover.
What kind of chickens are they?
We use a Berg's Browns for most of our layers, however the kids and Alicia tend to collect some "funky chickens" so you'll get the occasional egg that is green, tan, or pinkish.
