Ameraucana chickens, developed from a South American breed, lay naturally colored eggs in various pastel hues, primarily a blue-green shade. They were our first chickens, and remain our favorites.
The perfect Easter egg -- no need for dyeing! The color will be unaffected by boiling these eggs.
We raise only heritage-breed chickens, with a focus on breeds listed as threatened by the American Livestock Breeds conservancy. Our flock has free range of our farmstead. During the growing season, we feed them fresh naturally-grown vegetables from our garden; they forage in the grass year round. They are raised with completely natural methods, free of hormones, antibiotics, and other chemicals. We supplement their diet with flax seeds to enhance the Omega-3 content of their eggs.
The resulting eggs are rich and delicious, and beautiful. Expect variation in size and color.
Our garden seeds, yarns, and nuts make perfect gifts in synergy with our shared goals of environmental protection, sustainability, and food security.
Consider our wide range of heirloom vegetable, herb, and flower seeds as holiday gifts this year ~ grow your own and promote genetic diversity!
