The ducks and chickens are laying more, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the frogs are singing loudly from the ponds around us .. the earth is coming alive again. It’s one of our favorite times of the year. Living with 4 seasons is a beautiful experience for this Florida raised family. Spring is a wonderful reminder that God’s Grace and Goodness is all around us.
And that there is always a chance for a fresh new start!
Our little pullets are now laying hens, adding a beautiful array of colors to our egg cartons! It’s like an Easter basket every day!
If you’d like to grab some eggs, I deliver to drop locations off I-75
from Knoxville to Chattanooga. Let me know if you’d like some!
1 dozen Chicken $5
1 dozen Duck $6
You can also find our Duck eggs at Nutrition World in Chattanooga
Did you know that duck eggs are AH-Mazing at adding bounce, fluff and airiness to your baked goods?! ESPECIALLY your breads! I’ve also been told our duck eggs make for a delicious creme brûlée and homemade egg noodles. Duck eggs make for taller and more springy cakes and cupcakes as well.
Give them a shot! You won’t regret it!

These are Berkshire Heritage breed pigs. We rotate them mostly through woods & our newly growing pasture frequently to keep them clean, cut back on parasite load, mites and for new clean ground and fresh nutrients. They are fed freshly milled, no filler, non-gmo feed, managed as holistically as possible. They enjoy scraps from our kitchen which include produce from a local organic farm. We do not use medication of any kind injected into them or fed orally, unless life or death presents. We manage pig mites (very normal for pastured pigs) with essential oils and apple cider vinegar. We raise them to the best of our ability to be as clean as possible. We eat this food too and expect no less for our family or yours.
We feed them Non-GMO freshly milled grain from Edwards feed in Lebanon, TN. It is filled with fresh, rich nutrients that show through in our animals. The farmers that provide the grain to the mill are not certified organic, but they use practices as close to organic as possible. It is not a pelleted feed, which means it does not require fillers to bind the feed together to form the pellets. It’s 100% fresh goodness in addition to all of their foraging, fresh air and sunshine!!
