Laying hens are moved around the farm.

Who We Are
A little about us.....we are a 65 acre farm located in southern New Hampshire housing a variety of animals from horses to hogs, as well as hardy-breed laying hens and more.
One of our goals is to help in some small way in the preservation of rare and endangered American breeds that have adapted or can adapt to life here in the northeast. We would also like to share our ever-growing knowledge of the animals that sustained the people of our country prior to agri-business. We have a rich agricultural heritage in the U.S., as many breeds brought to America in the 17th & 18th centuries successfully adapted and subsequently evolved in regional climates and with the food sources available. Rare are the folks that have the ability to manage a farm full time, unless the farm was part of their family's history. As with most small-scale backyard growers, we work off the farm but start and end our days surrounded by our animals and nature. It is good for the soul. |
One of the reasons we work so hard 7 days a week is that we are genuinely concerned about the quality of commercially grown food, including meats. Agri-business has created a chemically-filled, fast growing (by any means possible) "product" that lives a tortured life, undeserving of any living creature. Consumers are becoming aware en masse of what they are ingesting and are making the healthful decision to do something differently.
