Eggstravaganza: A Rainbow of Fresh Farmyard Treasures
Our lovely, hardworking, feathered ladies strut about the yard, clucking as they craft their masterpieces. They lay each butt nugget proudly, leaving us a colorful treasure to find. Their eggs are shades of cream, blue, green, tan and rose…some are even speckled! These hens take their work seriously, and we reward them generously. We started 5 years ago with our 8 “OG” chickens that supplied our family and fur children and we’ve just kept growing, chicken math is real guys. We now have a vision of supplying our Farmstand for our friends, local community and visitors who come to the area for recreation. We currently have ~~laying hens that range 1-5 years old, 4 roosters, and 18 chicks. Our laying hens are a variety of Turkens, Rhode Island Reds, White and Brown Leghorns, Silver and Gold Laced Wyanottes, Bantoms, Silkies, French Black Copper Marans, ISA browns, Easter Eggers, and Plymouth Rocks. The 18 chicks we added this year are assorted breeds (Starlight Green Eggers, Cuckoo Marans, Polish, Cream Legbars, Ameraucanas) that will add a lot more blues, teals, and greens to our vibrant, fresh dozens that we sell in our roadside Farmstand.
Simple Ingredients
We keep it simple, that’s the difference! No unnecessary processing or ingredients that you can’t pronounce. Just starter, water, bread flour, a pinch of pink Himalayan Sea Salt, Avocado Oil, a little elbow grease, and a whole lot of patience—these are the humble heroes of our sourdough loaves. No shortcuts, just simple, clean, high-quality ingredients coming together to create bread that’s as honest and warm as a day at the homestead.
Crustworthy: The Sourdough Craft

We mix, fold, and shape our dough in small batches, giving every loaf its own personal touch — no two loaves are exactly alike. They are all fresh, warm, and full of love and patience. Swing by the Farmstand to try a loaf!
