Each Spring, woodcock migrate north, and we have been fortunate to have some stay on our farm.

Spring’s Awakening: Beneath the Blanket of Late March Snow
Imagine this: Just a few days ago, our farm was buried under 17 inches of snow. But now, Spring is here, melting away the snow and bringing a fresh start. And while all this change unfolds, we’ve been busy creating something special for our chickens.
Introducing our latest innovation: a custom chicken feeder crafted from a sturdy 55-gallon, Food-Grade barrel and large PVC elbows. This feeder allows us to deliver feed from the barn every few days, rather than daily, ensuring our chickens are consistently well-fed. Plus, we’re refining the design to minimize waste, so very little feed ends up on the ground.
As Spring sets in and our chickens start to forage more, they’ll rely less on the feeder. But we’re still pleased with our new feeding station and the value it brings to our chickens.
Organic Chicken Feed
We picked up our first bulk supply of Certified Organic Layer Feed from Cold Springs Farm Organics, LLC in Sharon Springs, New York on March 22nd. We bought 7 bags of this same feed from Outlander Survival Supply earlier in March and started the flock on organic feed on March 20th. Our chickens love the feed, and after one week with the chickens eating the organic feed, we really are starting to notice an improved taste in the eggs!
