About Us / Fruitful Hill Farm History:
(From the Website) Our main farm enterprise is raising pastured laying hens, along with a few dairy and meat goats. The way we raise our chickens creates a different product for consumers who are interested in healthy and local foods.We use no chemicals or hormones with our chickens or our pasture. We move the chickens about once a week to a new section of pasture so they get new grass and bugs to eat. An "eggmobile" is moved along with the chickens so that they have a place to lay the eggs, and some protection from the wind and sun. Moving them across pasture also provides for a more evenly distributed return of fertilizer to the soil. Their diet is supplemented with a high-quality high-variety feed and organic vitamins and minerals.
