Pastured laying hens


The most frequently asked question about our eggs is 'Are your eggs free-range?' Well, not only are the birds free-ranging, they have far more green pasture than they can use. Dan has to mow the hay down every couple of weeks or else we lose sight of them, and watching them is half the fun of owning them. The many bare patches you see are riddled with large holes that they use to take 'dirt baths' in.
