Whoops! 🙈 Missed my drop-off at Signs616 this week, so we've got a little surplus of fresh, pasture-raised eggs available for you! 🥚
We have 9 dozen eggs up for grabs today - that's 8 regular dozens and 1 special pullet dozen. Perfect for your weekend breakfast, baking, or just for a nutritious snack.🍳
Check out our happy flock snacking on some crisp kale from our chemical-free garden. 🌿 You can almost see the delight in our rooster's eyes. That's the joy of a diet that's as varied as nature intended. 🐓
Remember, our hens' diverse diet contributes to the amazing taste and nutritional value of our eggs. So, when you buy our eggs, you're not just getting a dozen eggs; you're getting a dozen reasons why pasture-raised is best! 🌱
Don't miss out on this chance - DM us to reserve your eggs today! First come, first served. Let's make the most of this egg-traordinary opportunity! 💌
Checking in with the Cornish cross, aka c-monsters, aka feather pigs this morning. Had a challenge of moving them to the new grass that happens to be across our driveway. They instinctively do not like leaving the grass even though there’s greener pastures on the other side. Don’t ask Lauren how it went. 😆😅

Checking on the broilers for the evening. They’re ugly birds, but I still love watching them forage for seeds, grass and bugs. All things that the majority of the meat you buy at the store will never have the opportunity to do.
National Pet Day = chaos on the farmstead!
Wake up with our chicks! ☀️ 🐥
Check out our Black Copper Marans chicks growing up so fast! We're excited to announce that these little ones will hopefully start laying eggs this summer.
Black Copper Marans are a beautiful breed of chicken known for their dark brown, almost chocolate-colored eggs. They're a popular choice among backyard chicken enthusiasts and small-scale farmers for their excellent egg-laying abilities, hardiness, and docile temperament.
In addition to their unique eggs, Black Copper Marans are known for their striking appearance. They have a copper-black plumage with iridescent green feathers and bright red combs and wattles.
We're proud to be raising these beautiful birds and look forward to sharing their delicious, nutrient-dense eggs with our community. Supporting small-scale farmers like us means investing in sustainable and ethical farming practices, and we're grateful for your continued support.
Stay tuned for more updates on our Black Copper Marans and their egg-laying progress!

Feather pigs living their best life.
We love using the heat plate. Mimicking nature is the best way to go on our opinion!
*Chirp* We’re growing the farm a bit! These Black Copper Marans will be added to our flock as soon as they’re old enough. I’m very excited as I’ve wanted to add this breed for quite some time. They should lay a dark “chocolate” color egg.
If this ain’t the TRUTH. 😅🥹 Matt Mathews @Matt_Mathews on tick-tock.
Looking forward to these spring and summer days!
