Black Hen Farm

The day I discovered Black Hen Farm was the day I started eating eggs again. Concerns over the treatment and fate of chickens had kept me from buying eggs for several years. Even free-range or cage-free chicken eggs come from places whose business is selling eggs, and I couldn't help but wonder what happened to those chickens once they'd passed their egg-laying prime. Now I know the lucky ones are rescued and end up living long and happily at Black Hen Farm, where chickens are Cheryl's passion. Here they're fed nutritious organic food, and they're pampered with lots of love and tender care. It's the chicken equivalent of living at the Ritz. Of course they still lay eggs, but it's in accordance with nature and their own cycles, which is why sometimes eggs from BKF are scare. Cheryl sells the eggs her chickens lay, she doesn't have chickens to sell eggs. For me, these are guilt-free eggs and the only ones I'll ever buy. I'm happy that in buying them I'm helping, at least a little bit, to support the Good Life for the very lucky chickens who end up spending their lives here.
