Our new flock of hens has arrived!

First round of “chicken chores” for 2020. Our chickens eat non-GMO feed, plus all the bugs and grubs they can forage. Their presence fertilizes the soil and helps control pests in the fields, without using any chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

On Friday, we had our boots on the ground at sunrise to meet our delivery of 500 Rhode Island Red hens at the farm. It was all farmhands plus some workshare workers on deck as we transported them from the road to their laying house and fenced-in portion of the field. Now that they are home, the chickens will be rotated every two weeks, fertilizing and aerating the soil for future crops. We also raise chickens for eggs, and we hope to be offering eggs for sale very soon!
