We are in Grant Township, Michigan.
Eggs are due to be available starting in spring/summer of 2026!
We do not process them at our farm, they are done at the very well reviewed and trusted Wilcox Poultry in Brown City, Michigan.
The breed we currently use (Freedom Rangers) takes 9-10 weeks to reach processing age. Some more popular meat breeds take 7-8 weeks, and dual purpose or heritage breeds can take up to 18-20 weeks.
We order them through the mail from Meyer Hatchery in Ohio.
We are not in the business of cutting corners at JB’s. My animals’ health and well being is ALWAYS top priority and we will always be transparent about where your food is coming from.
Committing to growing pasture-raised meat is quite labor intensive. Providing protection, moving them to fresh grass daily, feeding them locally milled non-gmo products, finding a local small processor we can trust… it takes time, money, and care.

Sometimes! You can find the story of Runty, our mascot, at the top of our Facebook page. He is a chicken I kept from my very first batch of meat chickens.
Ultimately, every animal on our farm serves a purpose. They might be here to feed my family and the community, or they might just be cute and bring joy. All are equally important to me and all are treated with the same love, kindness, and respect.
Regenerative agriculture means that we manage our livestock in harmony with nature, not against it. You can read more about that on the Farming Practices tab in the drop down menu!
Pasture raised means that the meat you receive has been rotationally grazed and spend their lives outdoors.
Our chickens get to eat all the grass and bugs they can forage for, and are supplemented with a NON-GMO grain provided by a mill local to us.
