We've had a lot of recurring questions come up, so we'd like to take the time to answer those here! If you have any questions, feel free to make a comment and we'll respond ASAP!
Q. Where are you located/what's your address?
A: For privacy reasons, we do not give out our address unless a customer will be picking up a product on-site. Once a time and day is set up for pickup, rest assured, you will receive the address! As for a general location, Ellis Acres Farm is just outside of Gallatin's city limits, past the civic center and just off of Dobbin's pike.
Q: What do you feed your birds?
A: Our flock is fed the Layer Feed made by the Amish at Hoover's Feed and Grain mill in Scottsville, KY. It is a mixture of crushed and whole corn, oats, soybean, grit for digestive health, and more. We also have the privilege of allowing our flock to free-range anywhere between 7 to 12 hours a day.
Q: I was put on your "wait list." How long will it take to get my order?
A: Depending on how many people are before you in the wait list, it could take a day or two, or it could take three. It also depends on how many eggs the people on the list before you are asking for. Our flock produces around 65-70 eggs a day, only 63 or so of which are a good size enough to use in our flats and dozens. We promise, we are getting you your order as quick as we can!
Q: Do you have ducks/ducklings, chickens/chicks available?
A: The answer to that will depend on the week! Check our posts often to see when we announce that they are available. We will always let you know.
Q: Do you take card?
A: We accept Cash, Check, and Cashapp or Venmo. Checks must be made out to Sarah Ellis.
Q: What's the price?
A: That depends on what you're asking for. Products are as follows:
- 1 dozen (12) for $4
- 1 18 count for $6
- 1 flat (30) for $8
For washed eggs, the prices are as followed:
- 1 dozen (12) for $5
