Breeding Quality Poultry and Waterfowl
The Hatchery
Our birds are an important tool on our farm for returning fertility to depleted soils. We are a small breeder of poultry and waterfowl, selectively breeding toward the perfect birds for the homestead or backyard setting. Fertile hatching eggs, chicks, and goslings from our birds are offered seasonally and can be shipped anywhere in the United States.
We take the health of our birds very seriously and voluntarily participate in a national disease testing program (NPIP/AI clean flock #55-1701). In March 2023, we personally tested clean MG and for MS through Rollins Lab. As our state, North Carolina, lacks the funds to test independent flocks for these additional diseases, we do not carry the MG/MS clean designation from our state.
*We are preparing for the 2024 hatching season! See the farm's Facebook page for the latest news and annoucements *
Pastured Eggs
We have eggs for baking and eating available year round. All of our hens are raised on rotated pasture, ensuring a fresh supply of forage. Their varied diet produces the most nutrient dense eggs possible, including 3 times more omega-3 fatty acids and 2 times more vitamin E than conventional store bought eggs.
