Greetings from the Farm!

Exciting news from our neck of the woods: we're gearing up to welcome our newest arrivals – a fresh batch of day-old chicks! But before they arrive, we've been hard at work updating their new home – our upgraded chicken brooder.

Why the Brooder's Makeover Matters

What is a chicken brooder? These safe spaces are where our young chicks spend their first few weeks, getting used to farm life before spreading their wings outdoors. We've learned lessons over many years, facing challenges with predators and temperature swings.

A Team Effort

But fear not – we're not ones to shy away from a challenge! With input from our dedicated team, we've brainstormed solutions and invested in automatic feeding and watering systems. These upgrades not only make life easier for our farmers but also help welcome healthy chicks to the farm.

Putting Care First

Just like parenting, consistency is key when it comes to chicken care. By streamlining our daily routines, we're striving to provide the best start for our feathered friends. 

What's on the Horizon?

The chicks journey doesn't end in the brooder. As stewards of the land, we'll be introducing these chicks to the pastures soon. So stay tuned for more updates from the farm – there's always something new on the horizon!

A Year to Review

To recap a whole year into one short blog feels like a lot of pressure. I am bound to miss some of the best moments of the year, while ignoring some of the hard challenges tackled. At the same time, life on the farm can feel incredibly similar one day to the next when living outside of the moments. But I do understand my worst attempt will be better than nothing, so here it goes.

Busiest Week Ever

The holiday season is here, and this week might just be our busiest yet! From the warehouse to the office to the pastures, every part of the farm is buzzing with activity. Each task plays a role in what we love most: connecting you to the best food we can produce for your holiday celebrations.
