Green Initiatives
Our Carbon Neutral Farm Journey
As farmers, we have a passion for land preservation and reducing our negative impact on the environment. We are on a journey towards a net zero carbon footprint through the adoption of new technology and natural farming practices. The following highlights the green energy initiatives that we have taken to produce a “green egg”.
Heat Exchangers
In our barns we use heat exchangers that, during the cold winter months, blow out warm indoor air over coils that heat incoming cold air. This technology recaptures roughly 80% of the heat lost in a conventional barn so that for most of the winter our barn’s primary heat source is the birds themselves. This system also filters the dust particles for better air quality for our hens.

Manure Composting
Manure from the birds is always a challenge to dispose of for farms. On our farms we have installed biodigesters that compost the high nitrogen manure into a usable compost that can be put on gardens and fields. Chicken manure compost is the richest in nutrients and provides a great natural fertilizer for other farms in the region.
Growing Forward, Responsibly
We’re proud of the steps we’ve taken — and we’re just getting started. Every initiative brings us closer to a more sustainable future for our farm, our hens, and our community.
Your source for fresh, local eggs is closer than you think.
Straight from our hens to your home in just days, because fresh matters.
