This year we have 8 little adorable kids, that bound around the pastures and show off to our guests.
Many of our egg hens are naturally broody and we encourage this natural method of hatching chicks. We do not use heaters or artificial methods to hatch our chics. Typically in one year, we have 7-9 hens that will hatch out approx 70-90 egg laying chickens. We keep the younger hens and allow these hens to lay for 2 years. After that time we use them as meat for our family, but not guests, as they are larger and not as tender as our younger meat chickens, we use for the guest's entrees.



We also practice a very traditional and ancient farming method called "three sisters"
When the corn is 6 inches tall, beans and squash are planted around the corn, alternating between the two kinds of seeds. This agricultural knowledge has been used for 5,000–6,500 years.
The three crops benefit from each other. The corn provides a structure for the beans to climb, eliminating the need for poles. The beans provide the nitrogen to the soil that the other plants use, and the squash spreads along the ground, blocking the sunlight, helping prevent the establishment of weeds. The squash leaves also act as a "living mulch", creating a microclimate to retain moisture in the soil and the prickly hairs of the vine deter pests that bother the corn and beans. Nature working to help nature in a healthy and organic ecosystem.
