Rustic Roost Farms

We did our first Loop Program pickup today! So awesome to be able to feed the chickens all this produce etc along with their feed and not have this go to landfill! We filled both our vehicles!

We will try to get to deliveries on Sunday. We have a hard goodbye tomorrow as we put our old boy Sarge to rest and run free on the Rainbow Bridge We thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.

Just saw the smallest little owl tonight in the outdoor run, when I went to turn lights out for the chickens. I got so close I could have touched it, then it hopped to another perch and proceeded to fly to another one. I went back in to grab a flashlight and my phone and we went back to see if it was still there. Sadly it wasn't, but we saw its feast/ stash of 2 mice and remains of another! Have at it wee owl, there are lots of mice for you. Based on size alone, as I only saw the silhouette of it, I am guessing it's a Northern Saw- Whet owl.

Forgot to post earlier, but I wanted to share that we collected 40 eggs today!! Numbers are going up!! What does this mean?? New hens are laying original flock is laying better ... that we can hopefully continue to fill regular scheduled orders and not have to cancel that we can hopefully start providing eggs to those on our waitlist Finally

I am so excited!! Just got an email today to attend training for the LOOP Program! This is where stores like Save-On Foods and partner stores donate unsellable foods/produce to farmers etc to feed animals or use as compost etc! I think I expressed interest over a year ago! This is great!

Ohh spoiled ladies!!

Saw my little owl again tonight and had my phone with me to get a picture! They are so friggin adorable!! Northern Saw Whet Owl aka chicken run mouser.... you may stay as long as you wish!!

We are LOOP program trained!! Can't wait! Few more things to check off and we can start doing pickups!

The ladies out enjoying some scratch .... and yes... we shovel paths for them haha
