5. Please don’t tamper with water lines, waterers and feeders.
6. Have fun and ask questions!

Here is a basic overview of our operations with information about each:

1. Broilers
   • We raise cornish-cross meat birds.
   • It takes eight weeks to get them to processing size.
   • They start in the brooder and stay there two and half to three weeks.
   • Then they move them out onto pasture for the remainder of the time.
   • We use portable shelters to protect the birds, and we move the shelters every day (yes, every day).
   • We process the chickens right here on the farm, and they taste great! You can take one home with you!
2. Layers
   • We have mixed breeds of laying hens ranging from Barred Rock to Golden Comets.
   • Our kids gather the eggs every day, and we do refrigerate them.
   • We move the chickens to fresh pasture once a week using the eggmobile and portable electric netting.
   • The netting protects them from ground predators and keeps them together.
3. Cows
   • We have mixed breeds of beef cows, and they only eat grass (hay in the winter).
   • We sell most of our beef by the pound in our Farm Store.
   • We practice rotational grazing, and we move the cows every day or so using portable electric fencing.
4. Pigs
   • We start them out near the house until they are trained to electric fencing.
   • Once trained, we will move them around the farm as well.
   • The waterers, feeder, and shelter are all homemade and portable.
