How we farmMay 26, 2026
What is actually in our feed
Corn-free, soy-free, certified organic, and no antibiotics. Here is why we bother.
The single question we get asked most is what the birds eat. It is the right question — with chicken and eggs, the feed is the product.
Corn-free and soy-free
Our birds are fed a certified-organic ration that contains no corn and no soy. Both are cheap, both put weight on a bird quickly, and both are in nearly every feed on the market. We leave them out because a lot of the families who drive out here are avoiding corn and soy in their own diets, and it makes no sense to avoid it at the table and then eat it second-hand through an egg.
No antibiotics. Ever.
Not "no antibiotics unless the bird is sick" — none. Birds that stay on pasture, with space and fresh ground, mostly stay healthy. Preventative dosing is a shortcut around bad conditions, and we would rather not have the bad conditions.
What that costs
It costs more. Organic corn-free, soy-free feed is several times the price of commodity feed, and the birds grow more slowly on it. That is the reason a dozen of our eggs is not supermarket money.
What you get for it is an egg with a deep orange yolk and a shell you have to work at to crack. That is not marketing — it is what a hen eating real food on real ground produces.
