Our Chickens are on fresh pasture during the green seasons. They sleep and lay eggs in portable structures called Chicken Tractors, and they scratch and play in the fresh air all day. This housing is moved weekly so that the chickens can always enjoy fresh, clean food choices and healthy sunshine.
We have several breeds of chickens here that produce a wide variety of colorful, nutritious eggs. 
With the addition of our egg share, we will deliver 1 dozen of our eggs with your vegetable share, every-other week for a total of 10 weeks.
We have eggs available at the farm year-round, just give us a call and stop by!

What do you do with a stewing hen?
Unlike the broilers and roasters that have huge breasts, thighs and drumsticks, the stew hens are small and somewhat bony, and they make the best broth and soup and offer the most nutritional value to your stock of all. Slow-cooked, the meat will become tender and delicious and slowly cooked broth gives the best flavor to make the most incredible soups, and the meat can be eaten as is or used on sandwiches, in soup or for use in other dishes like chicken burritos or chicken pot pie, gumbo, etc.
Although smoked stew hen is fully cooked, slow-cooking in a crock pot will tenderize it deliciously. One of our favorite dishes is slow-cooked smoked chicken in light cream sauce served over pasta. The carcass makes a fantastic broth to use for bean and lentil soups! Used in split-pea soup it is hard to convince anyone that it is not traditional ham.
If you have a pressure cooker, the tenderizing of stewing hens can be speeded up considerably!
