Every order starts with healthy flocks, thoughtful handling, and seasonal rhythm — the details that make a small craft homestead different from anonymous hatchery stock.

Pasture & timberland

01 — Pasture & timberland
Our hens free-range across Northeast Florida pasture at the edge of pine timberland — foraging, dust-bathing, and doing what hens do best.

02 — Collected by hand
Eggs come straight from clean, straw-lined nest boxes into the basket — then get sorted by breed and shell color before they're packed.

03 — Color by breed
Robin's-egg blue, deep chocolate, olive and speckled moss — every shade comes from breeds chosen for color and calm temperament.

04 — Small-batch chicks
Chicks hatch in planned windows and start life in a warm, clean brooder before heading home to the keepers who reserved them.
Pasture-raised birds, colorful eggs, and seasonal hatch windows handled with care.
