We now have farm eggs for sale at the end of the driveway in a cooler. Wide range of colors from a range of different breeds.

$4 suggested donation per one dozen eggs, but please give only what you can and what fits your budget.

They are unwashed and have their natural bloom to prolong shelf life, and come from very spoiled hens raised in free range pasture. Our hens are omnivorous, meaning their eggs have more omega 3s than hens raised on strictly commercial feed, and the eggs are very delicious!

I fermented suint washed my fleeces this year and I’m very impressed by how well it worked. Oberon’s fleece (middle of the first photo) came out in one piece and is free of most dirt, urine stains, p**p and other yuck. Most of the lanolin also came out thanks to the 90+ degree days and the enclosed tubs letting it just heat right up.

Received 26 chicks from McMurray Hatchery and picked up 6 more from TSC to fill out the breeds I was looking for. End goal is pasture raised eggs for sale starting 2023, plus hatching eggs available for any that want to try their hand without a large order. We intend to rotate the chickens through the pasture after the sheep to lower the worm load on our fields, alongside using BioWorma in the hottest weather.

Current breeds that will be represented:
Red Star Amber
Ameraucana
Rhode Island Red
Barred Rock
Black Cuckoo Maran
Black Astralorp
Pearl White Leghorns
Modern BB Red Game Cockerel
Sapphire Gems
White Brahmas

First lambs were born this morning to Ursa - two ewes, both looking like they may be moorit grays. Can’t wait to see these little ladies as adults. They will be retained to replace Ursa in our foundation flock. Ursa will get to retire this fall from breeding and spend her days cleaning up pasture and supervising her 2021 twin ewe lambs.

Oberon is our handsome ram. He’s our flock sire for 2022 lambs expected in March and April. His a black-gray horned ram that throws spotting and comes from Kindhorn genes. He’s bred to our flock of five Lavender Fleece foundation ewes, and we plan to retain one of his sons due to how incredibly well behaved and respectful he is, in addition to his great body confirmation, excellent fleece and fast growing offspring.
