Laying Hens and Pastured PoultryOur laying flocks are going strong, and they're enjoying their assigned job of clearing our garden area of weeds and bugs on a rotational basis. Our hens' eggs are available on a limited basis at $3.00/dozen. If you live in the Puget Sound region and are interested in purchasing wholesome, fresh, farm eggs, please contact us via our contact form. We are also about to bring in our first batch of broiler chicks for the 2008 season. Our first broiler processing date is tentatively late June, 2008, with additional processing dates approximately every 4 weeks. If you are interested in buying whole chicken, chilled and wrapped, please contact us via our contact form. Broilers and Meat Bird ProcessingAs many of you know, we have been working for years to build a regional poultry processing facility for small-scale family farms such as ours. Sadly that goal remained out of reach, for a variety of reasons. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Many family farms, faced with the lack of processing facilities, have decided to build on-farm, WSDA-approved processing facilities. This year, we join that group. That's right - we're building a small facility with which we can process our own chickens. We hope to have our facility inspected and operational by June 2010. Stay tuned!
