Six generations. One farm. The pursuit of the perfect egg. This is our story.

The Land
One thing,
exceptionally well.
Our farm sits on rolling pasture—a place where mornings are quiet and the land remembers what it was before industrial farming tried to forget. The property has been in continuous agricultural use since before the Civil War.
We raise heritage breeds—rare chickens prized for centuries for their exceptional eggs. These aren't hyper-productive industrial hens bred for volume. They're living treasures.

Our Journey
A century in the making.
The Flock
Twelve heritage breeds.
Twelve unique stories.
Some are ancient. Some are nearly extinct. All belong to a tradition of poultry keeping that industrial farming tried to erase.
— The Rare —
Buckeye
The only American breed developed entirely by a woman—Nettie Metcalf, in 1896. Muscular, cold-hardy, and fiercely independent.
Dorking
Ancient. The Romans brought Dorkings to Britain two thousand years ago. They have five toes instead of four—a genetic marker of their antiquity.
Yokohama
A living heirloom from 19th-century Japan. Ornamental, elegant, and nearly extinct outside dedicated flocks. They lay sparingly, making their eggs precious.
Bielefelder
A German masterpiece from the 1970s. Rare in America, prized for their gentle temperament and exceptional eggs with dense, golden yolks.
Andalusian
Spanish aristocrats with slate-blue plumage that shimmers in sunlight. A Mediterranean breed laying white eggs since before Columbus sailed.
Barnevelder
From the Netherlands, developed in the 1920s for their extraordinarily dark shells—the color of espresso crema. The stars of our Espresso Reserve.
— The Heritage —
Speckled Sussex
English, mahogany-feathered with white speckles that multiply each year. Gentle, curious, and excellent foragers.
Buff Orpington
Golden, fluffy, and impossibly friendly. Developed in England in the 1880s—the teddy bears of the chicken world.
Australorp
Australian-bred from English Orpingtons. These glossy black birds once held the world record for egg production.
Barred Plymouth Rock
An American classic since the 1860s, with distinctive black-and-white striped plumage. Hardy, docile, and a cornerstone of heritage poultry.
Rhode Island Red
The quintessential American farm chicken. Developed in the 1890s—tough, productive, and the standard against which all brown-egg layers are measured.
New Hampshire
Developed from Rhode Island Reds in the 1910s for faster growth and richer coloring. A New England original with warm chestnut plumage.

Our Commitments
Where tradition meets
exceptional care.
True pasture access. Our hens roam freely across open pasture. This isn't “access to outdoors” through a small door—it's genuine, unrestricted freedom to forage, dust-bathe, and live as chickens were meant to.
Local delivery. We deliver directly in Columbus and San Francisco—no shipping containers, no warehouses, no middlemen. Just eggs from our farm to your door.
