We always try to keep all our farm friends up to date with loads of additional photos and tales of misadventure for those who appreciate small family operations, country life, self-sufficiency, historic barns, and all things agrarian despite any partway started green/sustainable projects, wet dogs, mucky paths, renovation/repair projects interrupted by tractor-woes, wildflowers mixed with 'weeds', farm equipment haphazardly cluttering the timeless Adirondack landscape, and happy farm animals no matter what sort of horrible mess they make!

(But we'll take your name & number for fall-harvest 2026.
You'll want to see a few more pictures of the beautiful, genetically diverse Rainbow Ameraucana we breed for large misty blue and minty green eggs, uniquely beautiful feather patterns, and savory meat.
Our Ameraucana are ideal for a striking project flock.
We offer a wide variety of beautiful feather patterns while we stay true to our goal of breeding high-quality, dual-purpose blue egg layers.
Our vibrantly colored roosters are fast growing and meaty, yet docile.
From April to August we ship hatching eggs and have chicks available for local pickup.
We keep only the fanciest mixed-color Ameraucana hens in our hatching egg flock; and must part with hens for not being "Ameraucana enough".... beard/muffs gone missing or off leg colors.
~ From $20/hen ~
It's all very arbitrary... as the hatching egg market demands.
Our loss is your gain!
Jersey and Jersey cross trained family cows and family cow prospects periodically available.
Our girls are bred to our A2/A2 Perry bull
(a top choice for increasing %butterfat production in your herd).
