Heritage Breeds

We specialize in Heritage Breeds and Heirloom plants with a focus on those included on the Slow Food USA Ark of Taste.

We hand raise all of our Heritage breed Chickens and Ducks. They are given a protected, yet natural life. We use only certified organic feeds to supplement their grazing on organically grown pasture. Our animals are not considered our “stock”, they are considered members of our family are treated with kindness, respect and dignity. None are raised for meat, they are raised first for organic breeding stock and, in the case of our poultry and waterfowl, also for egg production. Please visit the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy for more information regarding the loss of heritage breeds.
