SLO County friends who eat eggs - our newest girls are a laying, and we now have extra capacity for new egg buyers!

We raise happy pastured layers who lay beautiful multicolored eggs. Our chicken eggs are between medium and large on the USDA egg sizing scale, and duck eggs are large.

Prices are $6/dozen for chicken eggs, and $6/half-dozen for duck eggs.

Please message me here or text me at A-HAM-ARM to make arrangements. Pickup at our place in AG or limited delivery to SLO or South County if schedules align.

Thanks, friends!

For those of you cooking for guests today (whatever you call the day), what are you cooking? What are some of your favorite dishes for Fall feasts? Share your menu?
This year, we’re opting for less fancy, more comfort.
We’re roasting a homegrown turkey and homegrown duck, making a skin on golden potato mash, a green salad, and a new one for us - Arancini!
Plus apple and pumpkin pies with fresh made ice cream, for dessert.

Shoutout to all the other homesteaders processing birds for Thanksgiving this weekend!

Things got busy on the farm, but I've got a fun post to share. TurDuck Shack 2.0 is done and in the pasture!

Our original was nice, but less sheltered from the wind we get sometimes, and the roost bars were shorter than the turkeys preferred. I looked around for ideas on the internet, and ultimately designed a mashup of a couple different ideas, plus some spice of my own, and voila!

Fran and Frankie helped with the painting and build, and we moved it into the bird yard this morning!

We also combined both flocks (chicken + turkey & duck) into one yard, so we'll see how that goes and who decides to sleep where at night.

I had a blast designing and making it, and I think it'll be much nicer for the birds.
