Our hens care...
Is very important to us. Reducing stress is top priority for our ladies. Similar to how stress affects humans, in poultry it can cause many issues including, poor egg production and susceptibility to disease. We allow our hens choice to roam free or perch inside the barn to protect from excessive heat or aerial predators. Perimeter fencing is set to protect and allow our hens to roam free in Arizona’s wild grass pastures and mesquite trees.

Regenerative Poultry
Our hens do a lot more work than providing nutrient dense eggs. By allowing our hens to roam free this allows the earth to heal with chicken manure, hens scratching the dirt and doing what chickens do best - regenerate. As the hens forage in their spacious farm they eat grass, bugs, worms and anything else they find in the dirt that adds to their rich protein diet which in turn produces a higher quality egg.

Why Pasture-Raised?
With the hype and buzz words we understand these terms can be confusing. When you buy pasture-raised eggs this means you’re typically buying a higher quality egg. You’re also supporting a smaller farm which means more natural and fresh products, farm sustainability and soil regeneration. It’s important to understand where your food is coming from. Support local!
