Cage Free Eggs
| Since 1880 we have been raising chickens and
producing eggs the "Old Fashioned Way". Our chicken coops were
built and in operation LONG BEFORE eggs farms decided it was a good idea
to confined 4 or more laying hens to a small cage, stacked several cage
levels high, inside a building where the chickens will never see the
natural light of day. (Photo from Farm Sanctuary) |
Caged Chickens
|
| These huge factory farms produce inexpensive
eggs but many question the quality of life of the hens inside those
cages. |
 |
Our chickens enjoy life as chickens where they
are FREE OF CAGES. Our chickens scratch with their legs to find bits of
food, lay eggs in straw lined nesting boxes, enjoy taking dust bathes,
enjoy sunning themselves in the NATURAL TRUE sunlight, flap their wings
whenever they please, and fly up to sleep on Roosts EVERY night. |
| We even allow some hens to sit on eggs and
raise clutches of chicks the old fashioned way. These hens are broody
hens that enjoy having a brood of chicks to raise. |
 |
It is MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE to raise chickens
this way, but it is MUCH MORE HUMANE and we feel the quality of the eggs
is better. The yolks are a darker color than the factory farm eggs and
have a delicious taste. We hope you will try some of our "Farm
Fresh Cage Free Eggs". |
| Since we DON'T force molt any of our chickens
by STARVING our chickens of food and water like some commercial flocks
do, our supply is determined by natural molting patterns of our hens and
sometimes limited. As our clientele increases we plan to add some
younger chickens to two of our coops that are presently empty, this
should help ease the seasonality of our supply. |
