Red Rope Farm in Douglassville, PA was started in 2004 by Dave & Kim Day. We began with 2 dozen laying hens and our farm has grown very much since then. We now have about 30 hens, 7 ducks, 3 turkeys, a goat and 10 sheep. We focus on grass feeding at Red Rope Farm because it is most natural for the animals. Our sheep, turkeys and broilers are rotationally grazed and supplemented with some grain. Our turkeys are fed 100% certified organic feed.
