Pastured Poultry
Some laying hens and some white turkeys.
We raise laying hens, meat chickens and turkeys. All our birds are started inside with a heat lamp, but are put outside as soon as they can tolerate the temperatures outdoor. We move them regularly so they always have access to fresh grass. They are also fed a vegetable based mixed feed (no animal by-products!) which has no hormone nor antibiotic. They are protected from predators by an electric fence. They also have a shelter for shade and protection from the rain.
Meat chickens and turkeys are available in the fall.
Eggs are available year round.

Laying hens
We have a variety of breeds for laying hens. There are White and Partridge Chantecler, Welsummer, Ameraucana, Marans and a many crossbred! The hens are free to roam outside to enjoy the sun, the grass... and the bugs!
Cornish cross meat chicken
These are the most popular meat chicken. They are one of the fastest growing bird. We raise ours for 8 to 10 weeks to produce a tender and flavourful chicken that average 6lbs.
Orlopp Bronze turkeys
Orlopp Bronze turkeys mature at a slightly later age than the usual white turkey. Later maturity helps improve the flavour and makes for a superb dining experience.
