FAQ

How many chickens do you own? I’m not sure. Maybe 36? After 20 one stops counting. We own several different breeds that produce a gorgeous variety of colorful eggs.

How are your chickens raised? They live in an 800 square foot fully enclosed (even up top) run. Inside that run is a coop, a tree and lots of nesting boxes. We let them out beyond the run during the day to forage in a pasture.

Do you sell eggs year round? I don’t use lights to trick our hens into laying outside of their natural cycle. Everyone needs a break right? If the weather is telling them to stop laying, we let them :) Check out Instagram to get regular updates on egg supply. Spring and Summer are peak egg season.

How much are your eggs? It changes based on demand and farm expenses…usually $5-$7 per dozen.

Can I reserve eggs in advance? Sadly we cannot reserve eggs. Reserving eggs makes it challenging to keep the farm stand stocked for the public.

Are farm fresh eggs safe? Absolutely. Store bought eggs are often several months old by the time they arrive on the shelves. Our eggs are collected fresh every day. Then we wash them in natural enzymes and warm water. When they have dried completely they are packaged and stored at 45 degrees here at our house (and at the stand in a cooler). We label our eggs with expiration dates for ease. We do not recommend eating raw eggs. You assume all risk with how you choose to store and consume your eggs. Egg recommendations are available on our egg cartons.

Farm eggs look different than store bought eggs…why? You can probably guess the answer! Each egg is unique like each chicken. Farm eggs come in an array of colors and shapes. The yokes are a deep orange. You may notice imperfections in the eggs when you break them. It is totally normal to see the occasional red spot on the yoke or even a double yoke! The reason your eggs from the store look identical is because imperfect eggs are thrown out in the factory. We try not to waste perfectly good eggs :)

What do your chickens eat? They eat high quality layer feed from Payback. They snack on “scratch and peck” which is a mixture of grains. They also forage in our pasture for bugs and grubs. Lastly, they eat all our extra greens, fruits and vegetables (we do our best not to waste anything). Our eggs are not grain free.

What kind of flowers do you grow? We grow dahlias, cosmos, sweet peas, yarrow and zinnias. You will see the occasional rose in our bouquets on special days :) It all depends on time, weather and what flowers actually succeed in the garden. We are not a large scale flower grower. We have a small cut garden.

Do you design floral for weddings and events? No :) You may see the occasional arrangement on our blog or Instagram, but that is just a hobby or tutorial for fun :)

Can I reserve flowers? We don’t offer flower reservations currently. But you are always welcome to drive by the stand see what is for sale!

How much are your bouquets? Our bouquets are between $10-20 each. We tend to stock 2-3 (sometimes more) bouquets each day we are open. It all depends on demand and how many are selling.

Do you sell anything else at the farm stand? Yes! We sell handmade candles, bath soaks, simmer pots, apples, pears, tomatoes, plant starters and holiday wreaths. Availability depends on the seasons :)

When are you open? M-W-F 7:30am-3:30pm. Hours are subject to change due to weather, farm circumstances and travel. Check Instagram to stay up to date!

How big is your farm? We have one acre. It’s a small farm…but to us it feels very big!

Where is the farm stand? It is located in the Manor Grange Parking Lot next to Spruce Top Coffee - 17901 NE 72nd Ave, Battle Ground, WA 98604.

Do other small businesses or farms sell at your stand? Unfortunately we don’t offer collaborations with other artisans and farmers. However, Battle Ground Farmer’s Market is a great place to get started with your ideas!

Who takes the photos on Instagram and the website? I do (Jenni). In another life I was a wedding and lifestyle photographer. I still love taking photos and styling imagery as a hobby.
