I would like to thank you for
taking an interest in our farm and also tell you a little bit about our
endeavors. I am a former Air Force
veteran and Diana is a former dolphin trainer from Orlando. Due to the bad economic times and the
inability to find work we decided to do what so many are doing by attempting to
start our own business. We have
had a glimpse of where our food comes from and we highly recommend everybody to
see the movies "Food Inc." and "Fresh" It was a
real eye opener and we decided to go back to the way things used to be on small
farms instead of the corporate and cruel way of mass production handling of our
food. Our birds are truly free
range and happy birds. We have
seen chickens kept in fenced dirt yards and called free range birds. A fenced in flock should not be labeled
as such. Our eggs are purely
natural from happy birds that get out on 35 acres everyday and have a great
diet of fresh produce, bugs and chicken feed daily and no antibiotics. Our coops are cleaned daily resulting in
a healthy environment for the chickens and clean eggs for us. When they say “you are what you eat” this rings true
from the eggs to the meat that we eat.
The mass producers keep chickens in a small box for all their life, de –
beak them and pump them with antibiotics plus other chemicals to keep them
alive under filthy conditions. The
meat birds are also treated with numerous chlorine baths during the processing
to rid them of any parasites acquired from the lack of clean living conditions.
We personally don’t like the idea of eating chlorine or any other chemicals. This method of farming has the public
eating these chemicals and antibiotics as it passes through the eggs and
chicken meat making us less healthy as well. It’s well known that pasture raised hens are more healthy for
us because there are no antibiotics and no stress illnesses from overcrowding (which
can also effect what passes through to the eggs and meat that we eat.) Pasture raised fresh eggs are known to
be lower in cholesterol and saturated fat and you can just see and taste it in
a farm fresh egg. community

Our eggs vary in size and color due to the numerous different breeds we have on hand currently, including the occasional green egg from our Easter egger hens. Our eggs are not candled so there is a very slim chance you may find a double yoke or blood spot. While this is very rare and perfectly healthy to eat, we just don’t have a way to candle and weed them out like the factories. We just don’t want to scare anyone that hasn’t seen what can come from a natural egg and base our practices on honesty. We also plan to eventually expand into different endeavors from hatching chicks, meat birds, goat milk and soaps, and possibly cattle and more. It’s going to be a lot of work for us to get there, so please check back to our website. If you would like to stop in and meet the flock plus have some farm fresh eggs were asking $4.00 per dozen. Feeding this many birds a healthy diet is quite costly but farm fresh is well worth the taste and makes a healthier lifestyle. The stores are currently selling organic eggs upwards of $6.00 per dozen which of course is from mark up pricing. We’re almost always home but if you would like to request a time by our contact us form on our website or call 719-966-7465. We are located at 2632 Bar 10 Rd, in Ellicott. We’re Just past the schools going west on Sanborn road and making a left at the curve at the end. We are the second green house on the right. Thank you for your interest and we hope to bring you quality service the way things used to be done.
