Wingate Farm is a woman-owned and led diversified farm operation in Hinsdale, NH. We grow a few acres of mixed vegetables we sell at two farmers markets a week, and raise around 1,000 laying hens on pasture. Our highest priority is nurturing healthy animals, soils, and humans. We are a fun-loving, hard-working group of people dedicated to our land and community.

Schedule and Location:
Our lovely laying hens spend the spring, summer, and fall grazing on lush green pasture. With a large, mobile coop and portable fencing, we give our girls plenty of room to stretch, peck, scratch, and forage. Moving the coop every few days keeps the pasture invigorated but not overworked, distributes the nitrogen-rich manure across the fields, and gives everyone (human and fowl alike) plenty of exercise. This system of intensely managed rotational grazing takes work, but is the best way to raise healthy vibrant hens and delicious nutritious eggs. In the winter months, egg production slows down while the hens are safe and warm inside our hoop house. Winter bedding (straw mulch and shavings layered with manure and urine) is then composted and used on our vegetable fields.
The hens are able to get about 10-20% of their nutritional needs met from the insects, seeds, and grasses of the pasture. The rest of their ration comes from Green Mountain Feeds, a family-owned company in central Vermont. The feed is certified organic and guaranteed 100%GMO-free.
