We are small family farm located in beautiful Archer, Florida on five lush acres. We currently have several breeds of chickens, with over 50+ birds total for this year. We also have one breed of Guineas, and two breeds of Geese on the farm, with more being added everyday. We free range all of our poultry, in that they are only housed at night for protection, or while they are too young to be out by themselves without being dinner for other creatures! They are allowed free run within our enclosed portable poultry netting which gives them an area of 154 square feet. This is moved as needed to ensure that they always have plenty of fresh grass and bugs available to them year round. In the evening, all of our poultry actually "know" where they live and willingly come home for protection in an enclosed fenced area that allows for complete freedom of movement of all of our birds. They are able to see out at all times and rely more on their natural instincts. We do not do anything to alter the hens natural laying cycles, either with artificial lighting stimulation, hormones or other un-natural practices. If our hens have stopped laying for the season, they have stopped laying! It's that simple. We want to provide you with the most natural, healthy and most nourishing eggs possible.
Heirloom Country Farms is currently serving the Alachua, Levy and Marion county areas, or anyone else who wants to make the drive to our farm! We will ship only within the state of Florida for our truly "must-have" customers. All of our items are on a first come, first served basis, and pre-ordering is suggested. We can hold any order for pick up with a cash or local check pre-payment. (Please see Terms and Conditions for order placement, as we do sometimes waive this stipulation for our repeat customers). We do give free, ONE TIME egg samples of chicken eggs (only) for the asking, as Geese, Guinea and Duck eggs are layed in lesser quantities and as such are not always as readily available. Please keep in mind that the free sample may not be shipped, but must be picked up at the farm. You may then try your sample at home and discover for yourself how good TRUE free range really is!
