Sitemap: Home  Our Animals Laying Hens (eggs)

 Free-range laying hens provide our organic eggs.
We receive the hens as day-old chicks, and as soon as they are ready to transition from their brooders, we move them onto our certified organic pasture. They are entirely free to run, with no fences constraining them. Their mobile hen house protects them from predators at night and houses their supplemental feeder. We rotate the house onto pasture where cattle have recently grazed to encourage the hens to feed where grubs are plentiful, and we move their house when the hens’ reliance on supplemental feed indicates that there is not enough food for them on the pasture.
