If you want a breakfast like this...

Well, the eggs anyway. Here's where we are.

We are sold out for the moment. We expect to have a few more dozen as the hens start to think about spring time. Those on the wait list will be notified. Want to be on the wait list?

We do have more chicks on order and you can sign up now. We expect the 2025 hens to go into production mid-July.

We've started an option for you to purchase your subscription now but not activate it until your eggs start flowing. We have just 31 dozen per week left available. Don't wait - invest in eggs.

And yes, if you started a 3 month and want to increase to a year, you can do that as long as slots are available.

Many have been asking about Helena (aka 314). She is pretty tired from pushing herself too hard. She tries to stand until she is completely worn out. We have a heated bed for her at night and move her around during the day so she doesn't get bored. She loves being up on the hay bale and it gives us a chance to do stretching and massage on her legs.

For those who don't know her, 314 has been sick from parasites since the early summer. She's had a couple close calls but snapped back and seemed like she was out of the woods. Several weeks ago she had a relapse and lost the use of her legs again. She's a real fighter though and we aren't giving up on her yet.

Price Increase:

Sorry folks. We've struggled to avoid this but production costs continue to go up and we, like all small farmers, have almost no margin.

Those who have been with us know that we do not follow commodity pricing, we set our prices based on the cost of production. Sometimes we are higher than the store price, sometimes lower but we are consistent.

We are committed to producing the highest quality farm products and doing it sustainably and humanely using heritage livestock. We continue to be able to market sustainable heritage products at prices that compete with large organic farms who are using hybrid breeds.

If you have any questions on our pricing, please feel free to chat with us.

The new price is $7.00/doz effective immediately. Subscriptions will renew at the new price.

You probably don't need to be a plumber or a farmer to know this doesn't look good.

These are called Ritchie Automatic Waterers and they normally provide heated water to the livestock out in the paddocks. Until a ~20-year old fitting develops a pinhole leak. Unfortunately, there is no shut off so as go the Ritchies, so goes the house.

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see

And humming a little Irving Berlin we launch on Blueskys.

A certified organic, regenerative farm in Sunrise MN focused on heritage livestock.

2025 Broiler Update

We will be running broilers this year and are taking reservations. We sold out for 2024 so get your reservations in early. Still working with our vendors but we expect to run Barred Rock and possibly Dark Cornish.

Always heritage breeds for sustainability, resilience, and flavor :)

This is a deposit on broilers that will be processed in late October or early November. The deposit is non-refundable. We ask for deposits on the birds to help with the substantial cost of pasture raising organic food. Did you know that pasture-raised birds still need to be fed? And they eat tons......

A big thank you to the kind folks at The Home Depot in Blaine for donating their Christmas trees as a treat for the goats. The goats love nibbling on them and then use the branches in the spring to shed their winter coats.

Come warm our spirits with your presence this Saturday!
