Pastured Chicks

We decided to move our Freedom Ranger chicks' brooder out on pasture. They are happy as can be!


Rhode Island Reds


Our flock of Rhode Island Reds arrived a week and a half ago, and they are happily enjoying their new home on our farm. Laying is just in the beginning stages at this point, and we are looking forward to bringing their eggs to the farmers market in early June, along with some organic chicken.

Welcome spring!

The snow has finally melted here and we have just welcomed the addition of 100 beautiful Freedom Ranger chicks and a small batch of recently weaned piglets to our existing flock of 2 week old Cornish Crosses. Seeding has begun in the greenhouse and we are getting excited about plowing and tilling our fields next week in preparation for the summer planting.
