We’ve been dreaming of gardens, fruit trees, and walking barefoot in the grass again. We’ve missed having grass so much.
We’ve been free-ranging chickens here in Chiefland for the past five years — even longer if you count our time in Venice. But we’re ready for a change.
That means downsizing our flock from 200+ birds to around 50. That will still provide plenty of eggs and meat for our family.
To be completely honest, making a true full-time income from selling eggs and chickens usually takes a much larger scale — often 1,000+ birds. Maybe one day we’ll grow to that point, but for now we’ll be balancing farming with off-farm full time jobs while we build this next chapter. 🐓🐄🐢🐑👶🏻👧🏻👦🏻
