Meet Citrus Grove. 🍋🍊

Our first seasonal Willow Branch Multipurpose Cleaner is bright, fresh, and wonderfully citrusy, with lemon, lime, and sweet orange essential oils.

Made with vinegar, water, and essential oils, it’s a simple everyday staple for kitchen counters, tables, and all those little messes that come with farm life. I just love the bright scent it leaves in the kitchen and bathrooms.

Our farm stand isn’t quite open yet, but Citrus Grove is available through our website! If you’d like one, send me a message and I’ll be happy to send you the link.

One carton at a time. 🩵🥚

Every egg is gathered by hand, carefully packed, and stamped before heading off to a new home. It’s one of my favorite parts of the day and a reminder that even the simplest foods deserve a little extra care.

Whether you’re looking for fresh eggs for the kitchen or hatching eggs to grow your flock, we’d love to help.

🥚 Farm-fresh eating eggs
🐣 Quality hatching eggs
✨ Dozen or half dozens available

If you’ve been looking for a dependable local egg source, we’d love to become your regular egg stop.

Send us a message to reserve a carton, and keep an eye out… we’re working behind the scenes to make bringing a little Willow Branch home even easier.

A pretty exciting envelope showed up in the mail today… 🤍

We’re officially enrolled in the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP)! 🐓🥚

This has been one of our goals since we started raising poultry, and we’re so thankful to have reached this milestone.

So… what is NPIP?

The National Poultry Improvement Plan is a voluntary program that helps promote healthy flocks through regular testing, disease monitoring, and strong biosecurity practices.

One of the biggest pieces of that is biosecurity—a fancy word for the everyday steps we take to help keep our birds healthy and reduce the risk of disease coming onto the farm. Things like limiting unnecessary flock exposure, keeping equipment clean, monitoring the health of our birds, and being intentional about how we manage our poultry all play an important role.

For us, NPIP isn’t just a certificate—it’s a commitment to continually improving how we care for our flock.

So what does this mean moving forward?

🥚 We can legally ship hatching eggs to customers in many states (where permitted by state regulations).
🐥 We can ship day-old chicks in accordance with applicable requirements.
🤍 It gives our customers added confidence that our flock participates in a nationally recognized health program.

We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported our little farm along the way. Whether you’ve purchased eggs, hatching eggs, ducklings, or simply cheered us on, you’ve been part of helping us reach this point.

There always seems to be a jar of something homemade in our refrigerator lately and I’m loving it.

This week it’s homemade ginger ale concentrate, and I have a feeling it’s going to become a summer staple.

It’s bright, refreshing, and made with just a handful of simple ingredients:
🍋 Fresh lemon juice
🌿 Ginger root
🍯 Maple syrup or honey
💧 Sparkling water

Many people enjoy ginger and lemon for their fresh flavor and soothing qualities, and it’s such a simple way to skip store-bought mixers while making something special at home.

Homemade Ginger Ale Concentrate

Ingredients
• 1 cup sliced fresh ginger root
• 2½ cups water
• 5–6 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
• Juice of 1½–2 lemons
• Sparkling water (I love LaCroix Pure or San Pellegrino.)

Directions

1. Add the sliced ginger and water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes.
2. While the ginger simmers, juice the lemons into a jar and stir in the maple syrup or honey.
3. Strain the ginger, pressing well to extract as much liquid as possible, then pour the warm ginger liquid into the lemon mixture. Stir and let cool.
4. Store in the refrigerator.

To Serve
Fill a glass with ice, add about ¼ cup ginger concentrate, and top with sparkling water. Stir and enjoy!

This is one of those recipes that makes an ordinary afternoon feel just a little more special.

Have you ever made homemade ginger ale before?

Healthy hens don’t happen by accident—they start with healthy chicks. 🐥

One question we get asked often is, “What do you feed your chicks?”

Our goal is to give every chick the best possible start. While genetics play a huge role in the birds they’ll become, nutrition during those first weeks of life is something we can control.

For the first 8 weeks, we aim for a feed that’s around 24-25% protein. Since that is nearly impossible to find, we make our own blend:

🌾 30% Game Bird Starter
🌾 19% Chick Starter

We mix a 50:50 blend of the two in a large feed bin using a paint stirrer attachment on a drill. It gives us a really even blend and makes mixing a whole batch quick and easy.

We’ve been sourcing both feeds through our local MFA and have been really pleased with how our chicks feather, grow, and develop.

We also:
💧 Add Chick Boost to their water.
🌲 Use pine pellets topped with pine shavings to keep brooders clean, dry, and comfortable.

Every little decision adds up. Raising quality birds begins long before the first egg is ever laid, and we’re always trying to give ours the strongest start possible.

Fresh eggs are one of those simple staples that it seems you always need.

If you’ve been looking for a local source for eggs, we’d love to help.

We’re also working behind the scenes to make it even easier to bring a little Willow Branch home. Our goal is to create a simple, convenient way to stop by the farm for fresh eggs, baked goods, produce, and other farm favorites as they’re available.

For now, we have fresh chicken eggs ready!

🥚 Half dozen — $2.50
🥚 Full dozen — $5.00

Message us to reserve a carton, and we’ll have it ready for pickup.

We can’t wait to share more of what’s coming!

This season I have really enjoyed making our kitchen feel a little more like an extension of the farm.

Growing food and caring for the animals is only part of the story. Learning how to use the bounty, preserve it, and gather around it is the part I’m really falling in love with.

Lately, that’s looked like keeping a sourdough starter alive and baking homemade chocolate chip cookies for the week ahead.

They’re simple, comforting, and somehow never last very long around here.

This recipe is from Farmhouse on Boone, and if you’re just getting started with sourdough, I can’t recommend her recipes enough. They’ve been such a helpful resource as I’ve been learning.

I’m curious… what’s one thing you always try to keep homemade in your kitchen?
