Who's your farmer?

As we start to hit the markets for the season, we'd like to resume our series on getting to know your Farm Girls. First up, here's a message from Will, our main egg guy, on his approach to the big, beautiful, mostly brown eggs his "ladies" produce. Will, his lovely wife Sarah, and their beautiful daughter raise chickens, pigs, and veggies (and a few horses) on 10 acres in Perry.


"We have a small flock of 80 chickens which consist of modern and heritage breed brown egg layers. All of our hens are free range and spend most of their time scratching for bugs. They do have free choice to a supplemental feed, which is free of antibiotics. Our goal is to raise our chickens in the most natural way we can. Which in turn lets us have the best product we can. Feel free to come check out the operation in Perry, AR. 3648 Hwy 9N."
