The rich, reddish-black plumage and red comb of the "Old-Type" Rhode Island Red chicken is an iconic symbol of American agriculture. It is a successful dual-purpose bird, and an excellent-tempered farm chicken, with a highly productive brown egg-laying rate. Since the 1940's, the Rhode Island Red has been selectively bred for more efficient egg production, becoming smaller, lighter colored, and less broody as a result. Of greatest conservation interest are the "Old-Type" Rhode Island Reds, which are larger, darker, and more broody. The "Old-Type" Rhode Island Red chicken has an incredibly rich flavor that is most appropriate for (and best released in) stews
We are a small sustainable market farm. We sell at farmer's markets, as well as to local grocers and restaurants. We raise about 200 laying hens. We use compost and cover crops to improve our rocky clay soil.
We love to trade labor for food, knowledge, time in the dirt. Wednesdays 9-noon is volunteer/trade work day. Tours, sometimes, by appointment. Call first.
