Hello everyone! We've got some exciting updates from the farm today!
Our very first package of beautiful turkey eggs for the season has made its way to our self-serve fridge at the farmstand! They're nestled right in with the rest of our fresh eggs, waiting for you. Our turkeys are just getting back into the swing of laying, so we have a limited amount available right now, but we promise to keep stocking them as they lay! Keep an eye out! 👀
And that's not all the egg-citing news! Our ducks have been super busy, and we have a wonderful abundance of delicious duck eggs! To share this bounty with you, we've decided to lower the price of our 6-pack duck eggs to just **$5.00**! That's down from $6.00, and this new lower price will be in effect all summer long!

Whether you're curious to try the unique flavor of turkey eggs or love the richness of duck eggs, our farmstand has something special for you.
Come on down and visit us anytime - our self-serve fridge is always open here at RMT Farms, 404 Academy Rd, Litchfield.

Our feathered overlords have spoken... and apparently milk crates are SO last season. After tirelessly providing us with golden orbs all winter, our incredible hens are finally getting the penthouse suites they deserve! Behold, the first two double-story nesting boxes are UP! 🐔 No more egg-sidents (dirty or broken!), just pure, luxurious egg-laying. Judging by the looks on their faces, they're already planning their housewarming clucking-party. Now we are just waiting for some more sunshine to finish the rest. Yes, our hens are spoiled. And they deserve every single bit of it!

👑 Bow down, peasants! 👑
Who runs the barnyard at RMT Farms? You might think it's the fancy goats or the fluffy alpacas... but you'd be SO wrong! 😂 The REAL royalty around here are these two majestic geese! 🦢🦢

This bonded pair are the undisputed KING and QUEEN of the yard. They strut around like they own the place (because they totally do!), necks held high, announcing their royal presence to all.
When they're on the move, it's like the Red Sea parting! Chickens scatter, ducks duck, and even the goats and alpacas give them a wide berth. Try to stand in their way? Prepare for a honking royal decree of disapproval!
They might rule the roost (or should we say, the yard?), but these two are total sweethearts with us humans and love a good cuddle.
So next time you're wondering who's in charge here at RMT Farms, just listen for the loudest honks and watch who everyone else is politely (or not so politely!) getting out of the way for! 😂

04/03/2025

When you check the brooder cam and this is what greets you... 👀😂
It's like they KNOW! They're all lined up, giving me the "We see you, human. We know you're watching. We promise to be good... mostly" stare. Honestly, are they plotting world domination or just wondering when snack time is? 🤔 Either way, my heart is melting!
Anyone else get the feeling their farm animals are secretly psychic? 😂

Our ducks here at RMT Farms are absolutely rocking it right now, and that means... we've got a mountain of gorgeous duck eggs ready for you! Seriously, these ladies are laying heavy, and we're swimming in golden goodness.
If you've never tried duck eggs, you're in for a treat! They're richer, creamier, and just plain better than chicken eggs for cooking. Think fluffy omelets, decadent cakes, and the most amazing baked goods you've ever tasted.
Swing by our farm stand here at 404 academy rd, Litchfield, and snag a 6-pack for just $5.00! We've got them nestled right in with all our other farm fresh goodies, just waiting to bring some sunshine to your kitchen. Your tastebuds will thank you. 😉

Just look at these three little emu amigos strutting their stuff. The two taller leggy wonders are just over the two-week mark, already looking like they're planning world domination. And then there's the little nugget in the middle, who joined the party less than a week ago and is still figuring out how these long legs work. The height difference is absolutely bonkers, right?! 😂 It's like having a couple of teenage siblings showing their baby brother the ropes. But honestly, it's so sweet to see the older two being so gentle and already exhibiting a kind of protective instinct. They stick close by, almost like they understand he needs a bit of extra care and guidance all while teaching him the emu ways. It's amazing how quickly they grow in these early stages. Before we know it, they'll be majestic, full-grown emus and will be towering over me, making me feel like I'm living in a land of gentle giants.

Prepare for cuteness overload! Our emu toddlers have discovered their voices, and boy, do they know how to use them! Today's adventure included a much-needed leg stretch outside the brooder, resulting in a full-blown exploration of the room. We got to witness their wobbly walks, playful runs, and plenty of adorable interactions. These moments are so important for socialization and allow us to monitor their growth closely. Join the fun with these videos.

Emergency meeting of the Tiny Emu Overlords! Two days post-hatch and these little fluff-nuggets have finally figured out how to operate their leg-sticks! (It was a bumpy ride, let me tell you. Think Bambi on ice, but with more chirping.) 😅
Apparently, the emu manual says "Day 2: Activate Toddler Mode." So now, everything is edible (including my finger's, apparently) and everything needs to be investigated with the intensity of a detective solving a mystery about... well, probably a crumb. 😆
These two hatched three whole hours apart, which is basically a generation in emu time. They're now bunking together in the brooder, learning essential life skills like, "how to drink without a bib" and "how to look adorable while eating." (They've mastered the latter.)
We're giving them all the cuddles and handling we can, because let's face it, a 6-foot-tall emu that thinks humans are scary is not ideal. We're aiming for friendly giant, not feathered velociraptors.
They grow faster than my internet speed on a rainy day, so get ready for some high-speed emu chaos! Who wants to bet how long before they're challenging me to a race around the farm?😂

Okay, folks, confession time: our chickens and ducks have been plotting. They've decided YOU deserve the freshest eggs in Litchfield! (And honestly, who are we to argue? They're pretty convincing with those adorable clucks and quacks.)
Ever feel like your breakfast is missing that certain cluck-factor? Or maybe your toast is just... blah without a drizzle of REAL honey?
Well, we here at RMT Farms are here to rescue your tastebuds!

We've got:

***🐔Chicken eggs: So fresh, they practically cluck when you crack 'em! (Okay, maybe not, but they're darn close!)
***🦆 Duck eggs: For when you're feeling fancy... or just want to confuse your omelet. They're richer, bigger, and great for baking.
***Honey, Honey!: Sweet as a summer day and made by our buzziest employees. 🐝
***Cider that'll make you say "Apple-solutely!" (Sorry, we couldn't resist.)
***Canned Goods Galore: Jams, pickles, and more, all made with love (and a little bit of farm magic!). ✨

Everything is made right here on our farm, with love from our family to yours. We're open 7 days a week, year-round, from 8 AM to 6 PM because even chickens need their beauty sleep. (But they're up early, trust us.)
Come on down and see what all the clucking and quacking is about!
Find us at: 404 Academy Rd, Litchfield.

Well, folks, turns out our male emu wasn't on sabbatical after all! We were convinced he'd decided to take the season off after 23 eggs went… well, let's just say they didn't become tiny emu overlords.
But at 5 AM this morning, we were jolted awake by the tiniest, most adorable peep coming from the incubator. It was like a tiny, feathered alarm clock saying, "Rise and shine, I've arrived!"
It took us a minute (and a lot of sleepy stumbling) to figure out where that adorable peeping was coming from, but once we did, it was pure magic. This teeny-tiny, fluffball of adorable decided to make its grand entrance at the crack of dawn, peeping its way out of egg #24! Just look at that face! How can you NOT melt?

AND the good news doesn't stop there! After getting this little one settled in the hatcher, we gave the remaining eggs a little whistle, and guess what? Two of them whistled BACK! We're crossing our fingers (and toes, and hooves, and whatever else we can cross!) that the other 9 or 10 eggs follow suit.
I guess our guy just decided to take a looooong coffee break at the start of the season and then get down to business.😂 Who knew emus had such a flair for dramatic entrances?
Stay tuned for more emu-citing updates (see what I did there? 😉) and send us all the good vibes for a successful hatch!

This morning, I embarked on a daring mission: a quick raid on our Dad's farm for more of those gloriously giant emu eggs! While I was there, I couldn't resist snapping some pics of our majestic emu crew.
Prepare for some serious bird envy! We've got the elegant adults, striking their best poses, and the awkward-yet-adorable juveniles, still figuring out how to work those long legs. Imagine a gangly teenager in a feathery onesie, and you're halfway there. 😂
Seriously though, these birds are something else! They're like living, breathing dinosaurs with a dash of "are you looking at my hair?" attitude. Check out the pics and let me know which emu is your spirit animal! Is it the regal elder, or the slightly confused youngster?

03/12/2025

You know we love sharing the weird and wonderful from our farm, and today's offering is... well, let's just say it's egg-straordinary!
Yes, we're temporarily out of those delicious, giant emu eggs for eating (those birds are keeping us on our toes!), but fear not, creative souls! This morning, yours truly had the glamorous task of emptying out a bunch of incubator eggs that decided to just not hatch.
The result? A small but mighty collection of CLEANED AND EMPTIED EMU EGG SHELLS!
That's right! If you're a crafter, artist, or just someone who appreciates the sheer size of these things, you're in luck! Imagine the possibilities:

* Tiny emu egg dioramas!
* Hand-painted emu egg masterpieces!
* The world's most dramatic salt and pepper shakers (okay, maybe not)!
* DIY Diva? (Perfect for those "I need a unique birdhouse" Pinterest projects)
* A conversation starter that'll have your guests saying, "Wait, WHAT bird?!"

For the bargain price of only $15.00 per shell, you can own a piece of pure, unhatched emu potential! These beauties have been thoroughly emptied and cleaned (trust me, it was a process), and are ready for your crafting pleasure.

Important Egg-formation:

These are delicate! We're not shipping them via catapult, so pickup is required. They won't be in the farm stand, because let's face it, they'd be smashed in 5 seconds flat.
We have a limited number available right now, but more are coming as we conquer our incubators!
So, if you're ready to embrace your inner egg-centric artist, send us a message, text, or call! Don't miss out on this chance to add some truly unique flair to your next project! And remember, when life gives you unhatched emu eggs, make art! 🎨

Alright, Facebook fam! I've been getting a lot of questions about those glorious, giant emu eggs we've got available since posting them. Apparently, "How do you crack that thing without summoning a dinosaur?" and "What does it taste like?" are common inquiries. Who knew?
So, instead of answering each question individually (because let's be real, I'd be here until the emus learn to fly), I sat down at my computer and wrote this blog! A whole blog About emu eggs! It's got everything you need to know: the taste (hint: it's not dinosaur), the opening technique (no hammers required!), the texture (prepare for creamy goodness!), and probably a few accidental puns because, well, that's just me.

Want to know if an emu egg omelet can feed a small village? Curious if they're good for baking? Or just want to read about my kitchen adventures (and misadventures) with these giant eggs?

Don't forget to share with your friends who are equally as egg-cited (sorry, I couldn't resist) about trying something new! And if you still have questions after reading, well, then I guess I'll just have to write another blog. Or maybe just teach the emus to answer the phone lol. 🤔

Alright, egg enthusiasts and culinary adventurers! Let's talk about something truly extraordinary: Emu eggs! Forget your standard chicken or even duck egg; we're about to dive deep into the wild and …
