A few updates:

🥚 -EGGS: we’re “patiently” waiting on our next batch of hens to start laying… it should be anytime in the next month! We will update here when we have eggs again. Thanks for understanding- we will surely know to time out the next hen flock swap better next time.

🍗 -CHICKEN: meat chickens are scheduled to be ready for pickup by the 21st of October. I will be sending info out to everyone who has accepted pre-orders with more pickup information this week. We are sold out for the year on meat birds, but we will assess and update if there are any extras not spoken for as we finalize numbers!

🦃 -TURKEY: we WILL have turkeys available for pre-order for your Thanksgiving tables soon!! I will be getting info out on that in the coming weeks as we get a rough idea of how big they will be so we can give more accurate weight estimates. They will be processed and ready for pickup mid-November. More info to come on that!
