Warning: Entering the barn during feeding time is like stepping into a feathered mafia meeting. 🐔 They're not asking, they're demanding. And let me tell you, if you trip with a bag of corn? You're not falling, you're being, disappeared. 😂 Seriously, look at that mob! They're giving me the "open the bag and walk away slowly" stare. Like, "We'll handle the rest, human." This is just a fraction of the flock, mind you. And yes, even the turkeys are throwing their weight around. 🦃 They're basically the enforcers. We love 'em, but I'm pretty sure they're plotting world domination, one corn kernel at a time. Anyone else live with tiny, feathered overlords?

The face of pure, unadulterated chicken exasperation. 🙄 Seriously, I think this hen was about to file a restraining order. I swear she was thinking, "Really? NOW? I'm trying to conduct important egg-laying business here! First, Gertrude won't stop peeking over the edge, and now YOU?" 😂
Anyone else's hens have that "I'm this close to clucking you into next week" look? We've got plenty of nesting boxes, but apparently, sharing is NOT caring in the chicken world. Some of these ladies treat their box like a five-star spa and get real territorial.

Hold onto your hats, folks! Or, better yet, hold onto your omelet pans! Because the surest sign that spring is waddling our way has arrived at our farm stand: DUCK EGGS ARE BACK!

Yes, you heard that right! Those glorious, golden-yolked wonders are back in stock, ready to make your breakfasts (and baking adventures!) absolutely quack-tastic! 🦆
We've got 'em in 6-packs for just $6.00, which is basically a steal for all that deliciousness. Just a heads-up, our ladies are laying as fast as their little webbed feet can carry them, so supplies are limited! We'll be restocking as often as they're produced, but don't dawdle – these beauties fly off the shelves faster than a duck to a puddle!

Swing by the farm stand and snag some before they're all gone! Your taste buds will thank you, and frankly, so will our ducks. They're very proud of their work.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing customers!
We're so grateful for the overwhelming response to our recent post about the possibility of adjusting our egg prices. We truly appreciate each and every one of you taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback. You guys are the best!
After carefully considering all your comments, and discussing things thoroughly with my family and my partner, we've made the difficult decision to adjust our prices. As of today, our eggs will be ***$5.00 per dozen and $7.00 for an 18-pack.****

This wasn't an easy decision. We know that rising prices are impacting everyone, and raising our own prices is never something we take lightly. This decision wasn't made to jump on the bandwagon of rising store prices, but rather after carefully evaluating the increasing costs associated with running our farm. We explored every possible option before making this change.
Please know that we are committed to re-evaluating our prices if circumstances change in the future. If we can lower them, we absolutely will!

Thank you again for your incredible loyalty and support over the years. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful customers. We appreciate each and every one of you more than words can say! You're the reason we do what we do.

From the entire RMT Farms family, thank you!

Hi everyone,

We always hate to talk about raising prices and hoped we'd never have to, but due to rising costs for electricity, egg cartons, and other essentials, we're unfortunately having to consider it.

We wanted to reach out and ask your opinion: if we were to raise our prices to $5.00 per dozen and $7.00 per 18 pack, would these prices still be acceptable to you, our valued customers?

We really appreciate your input and continued support. Thank you!

We survived the snowmageddon (barely)! Our farm stand is back open with normal hours after our little weekend hibernation. Thanks for your patience and understanding while we were snowed under.
We appreciate your support through all this crazy weather! Come on down and get your fresh goodies – as long as Mother Nature doesn't throw another tantrum, we'll be here! 😉

This morning's goat meeting was short and to the point. The agenda: Snow. The verdict: HELL NO. 🥶 Apparently, the memo about spring not arriving yet didn't reach our furry overlords. They took one look outside and collectively decided that the evil white stuff can just stay where it is. Call us, they said (with their eyes, of course, because goats), when the green grass is showing and it's warm enough to sunbathe without risking frostbite.

Maybell, bless her heart, ventured out a little further, probably to see if any other sensible creatures were willing to discuss this meteorological injustice. Her expression? Let's just say, if looks could melt snow, we'd be in a heatwave. I'm pretty sure she's plotting world domination and demanding I bring forth the green grass offering. A few others braved the elements for about two seconds before giving me the "you did this to us" death stare. Anyone else's animals this dramatic about winter hanging on?

🥶 Brrr! Due to the high winds and bone-chilling temps, our farm stand is now closed for today. And, with the impending BIG snowstorm this weekend, we've made the difficult decision to CLOSE our stand for the entire weekend (for everyone's safety!).

This storm looks like it's going to be a doozy, starting Saturday evening and lasting all day and evening Sunday. We're tentatively planning to reopen with normal hours on Tuesday, 2/18/25.

We truly hate closing the farm stand – it's never an easy decision. But this time of year, we're at Mother Nature's mercy, and she's not being very kind this month! 😔
If you need eggs before the storm hits, please reach out! We're happy to arrange a pickup.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and continued support of our small farm. Stay safe, stay warm, and we'll see you next week!

Well, the snow has finally stopped for a day, and our furry and feathered friends have given their official verdict... not impressed. The alpacas are giving the snow the side-eye, the goats are convinced they've seen worse (probably during the last blizzard), and the chickens? Oh, the chickens. They took one look out the door, collectively said, "Hell no," and have decided that doorway lounging is the new extreme sport.
I tried to explain that worms don't dig themselves, but they just gave me the "are you new here?"🙄 look. Anyone else's animals this dramatic about winter?

Attention all our egg-cellent customers!

Just a friendly reminder that we love to recycle here at the farm, especially egg cartons! ♻️ Whether they're plastic, cardboard, or styrofoam, we happily accept back empty cartons. So, if you have any lying around, you can always feel free to drop them off at our farm stand. If you only have a few, you can pop them on top of the fridge. If you have a whole bunch, you can leave them on the shelves or next to the fridge - we'll find them lol!
Small acts like returning your egg cartons really make a big difference for us. We accept 12 packs, 18 packs, and our very own 6 packs. Your continued love and support mean the world to our small family farm. Thank you for helping us stay sustainable and egg-citing!

What do you do when Mother Nature gives us a week of extreme cold temps? Well, we hit the kitchen! The farm life doesn't stop when Mother Nature sends freezing temps our way. From barn chores to kitchen adventures, we've been busy creating fresh batches of our beloved canned goods to keep our farm stand stocked and prep for farmers market season! This week we made up a fresh batch of our bread & butter pickled onions, pickled red onions, pickled pearl onions, dilly beans, pickled jalapenos, and our newest creation - Zesty Lemon Marinated Mushrooms! 🍋🍄 Don't worry if you can't find our canned goods in the stand on the extreme freezing days - just give us a shout and we'll be happy to bring any of canned goodness out to you! On above freezing days you can find all our canned goods (pickles, jellies, jams and more) out in our stand.

Check out our barn squad living their best cozy life on this cold day. No cold hooves or feathers here - we keep those barn doors shut tight on days like this, for our critters to lounge in warmth. The goats, alpacas, chickens, and turkeys are all in their element, living their best barn life and soaking up the warmth of the barn! They may be barnyard animals, but they sure know how to live the good life!
Stay toasty, everyone!
