Pasture raised hens produce exceptional eggs and form an integral part of regenerative farming.

Welcome to winter!! 🥶 💨💨💨

We hope your farms and homes haven’t suffered any damage. 🤞

We’ve put in some mitigation measures to ensure the vans are well ‘locked down’ to endure the strong winds.

👩‍🌾👨‍🌾💨👍

Random roll…

1. These 4 were loving the marshmallow patch! Hiding and weaving their way through. 🐓🐓🐓🐓🥰

2. Sweet TomTom, we are dog lovers (mostly), however this guy was super sweet (home delivery greetings). 🐈☺️

3. One two three, p*e! 🦙🦙 They do everything together. 😂

4. Now this had not only me but AI stumped! Not a sea anemone but the top of a fungus from the paddock! 🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫

5. Our youngest insisted that Zeus needed some time off - so to the dog park. He was an absolute darling - gentle and friendly 🐶🥰👩‍🌾 (all the hens were ok when he returned)!

6. Pointing out soil improvement the hens naturally achieve. 🐓🐓🐓

7. We use these heavy ‘harrows’ to run over the ground once we have moved the hens, this helps to smooth over the dust baths they’ve created and spread out their manure! 🚜👩‍🌾👍

8. A little bit of rain each day has been appreciated

9. Hens for homes 🏠 🐓

10. What a nice message to receive 👩‍🌾⭐️📚 post school trip farm visit.

🐓🥚 Earlier this week we welcomed the Year 12 Agriculture students from Investigator College to Back Valley Farm.

With a focus on biosecurity, the students arrived with plenty of thoughtful and relevant questions. They also rolled up their sleeves and helped collect the day’s eggs, as well as grade and pack them for sale. 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾🥚

Of course, nobody left empty-handed, with everyone taking home some egg samples to enjoy! 🥚👌

A big thank you to the students and their teacher, Nat, for visiting.

We were also incredibly grateful for the thoughtful gifts — six beanies, a plant voucher, and chocolates. 💚

We love sharing what we do and helping the next generation of agricultural professionals learn more about farming, food production, and biosecurity.

9. We will have hens for sale - ready for pick up in July. 📣📣

10. The OG packaging - still a fav amongst many of our customers. 🥚🍳

Have a great weekend everyone!

We’re looking forward to getting stuck into a few farm tidy-up jobs over the next couple of days.

Next week we’ll be hosting some Agriculture students from Investigator College. Judging by the questions they’ve already sent through, we’re expecting a very busy (and very interesting!) visit. We’re looking forward to sharing a little of what we do and answering their questions about farming, hens and eggs. 🐓🥚🌱

Overheard in the paddock…
🐓🐓

“Have you heard?”
“Heard what?”

“We’re moving.”

“…Moving moving? Or just moving paddocks?”

“Nope. New homes. New people. Fresh grass. Backyard scraps. Tiny humans carrying us around like royalty.”

“Ohhhh… one of those homes.”

“Yep. Apparently we’ve graduated from commercial girls to family pets.”

🐓🐓🐓

As we transition flocks here on the farm, many of our lovely hens are now looking for new homes.

Healthy, laying girls perfect for backyards, hobby farms and families wanting fresh eggs and plenty of personality.

Please contact us if you’d like to give some of our girls a new paddock to call home. 🥚

Oh and did we say they are beautiful 🐓💚

The details:

The breeds we have are:
Commercial whites
Commercial blacks
Hyline browns

All 15months

$10 each

Available for collection during July.

Pick up is Back Valley - South Australia.

📣📣 Seasonal Farm Announcement 🐓🐓🐓

As life on a farm goes, the seasons keep turning — and right now we’re about to head into our flock transition.

Our older girls are coming to the end of their time with us, while a new young flock learns the ropes of pasture life, laying in the nest boxes, mobile vans, green grass and coming when the feeders are being pulled (full) back into the paddock! 🥚🐔

Because of this seasonal changeover, we will NOT be attending the markets again until OCTOBER.

Winter on the farm is a slower season for us, but we’ll be back in spring when the paddocks are greener, the days are longer, and the girls are laying in full swing again. ☀️🌱

Thank you for supporting our boutique egg farm, our hens, and our family business. We can’t wait to see all your smiling faces again in October!

9. Packing shed got a spruce up and all freshly sanitised! 🎉👍👩‍🌾

10. Hens moved onto fresh pasture - they were very happy. 😃 🐓👩‍🌾💚

Random roll….

1. Alpacas are enjoying the fresh grass! 🌱🌱🦙🦙

2. Every drop counts, small rainfall events, slow drizzling rain allows the soil to soak up every drop. 💦🙏

3. I’ve zoomed out to try and fit this Xanthorrhoea and flower spike into the picture! These are truly spectacular and a favourite of ours! 👌💚

Have a great weekend - wishing all Mums, Aunties, Sisters, Grandmothers and Daughters a wonderful day on Sunday. You are appreciated and loved.

My favourite way to have eggs is poached… but if I’m honest, they’ve been a bit hit and miss over the years.

So this little “pillow egg” method might just be the thing that makes the perfect poached egg every time.

Let me know if you give it a try 👇

🥚🥚 Pillow Poached Eggs 🥚🥚

1. Prep your “pillow” line a small cup with glad wrap (or baking paper).

2. Lightly oil it so the egg doesn’t stick.

3. Add the egg, crack your egg into the lined cup.

4. Seal it up, gather the edges and twist into a little parcel (like a tiny sack). Tie the top so it stays closed.

5. Into the water, lower gently into simmering water (not boiling).

6. Cook
• 3 minutes → soft/runny yolk
• 4 minutes → slightly firmer

7. Remove & unwrap, lift out, let it cool for a few seconds, then carefully unwrap.

⸻

🥚 Tips 🥚
• Keep the water at a gentle simmer—boiling can burst the parcel
• Don’t overcrowd the pot if doing a few at once
• A tiny pinch of salt inside the parcel seasons it beautifully.

⸻

Still nothing beats a beautiful pasture raised fresh egg though. 😉
