Willowsford Farm Stand: All About Chickens!

Studies have shown that free-range, or pastured, eggs have more Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Beta carotene and omega-3 fatty acids and less saturated fat than traditional, conventionally farmed eggs. At Willowsford Farm, our flock of 100 laying hens enjoy lush green meadows, an array of insects, fresh air, clean water and lay healthy eggs for our CSA members and shoppers.

This Saturday, during regular market hours, we'll be bringing a few of our hens down to the Farm Stand.

Saturday July 27th 10:00am - 2:00pm: Meet Our Egg-Layers

Several representatives from the Willowsford Farm Professional Laying Team will be at the Farm Stand from 10:00am-2:00pm talking to CSA members and customers about the happy pastures they reside on at the farm. They will bring a farmer and a chicken handbook made by one of Willowsford’s own resident chicken enthusiasts.

Also at the Farm Stand: Fresh farm produce; Local, pastured and hormone-free meats from Mount Vernon Grassfed, Whiffletree Farm and New Asbury Farm; Trickling Springs milk, butter & ice cream; MTO Kombucha; Cherry Glen Goat Cheeses and Oak Spring Dairy cheeses; Spring Mill Bread; and baked goods from Kate Jansen at Willow Restaurant.
