Our Golden Comet Hens



Eggs for sale this weekend...Our first of many Moose Hill Farm products; free-range eggs, are ready for sale! 

 

Golden Comet eggs
Come see us at Powisset Farm's (another farm managed by The Trustees of Reservations) Spring Fest this Saturday, May 18, from 10am-3pm.  Powisset Farm is located at 37 Powisset St, in Dover, MA.  We will be there selling eggs in the big, grey barn!

First day ever on grass!
 
There have been so many projects here at Moose Hill Farm that we have been hard at work this winter and spring building up, but none as more visible or visited than our free-range egg business.  We now have 300, hard working Golden Comet laying hens.  They arrived at the farm in early April and they got right to work benefiting our soils by scratching, eating bugs and weed seeds and supplying free "fertilizer."  And now they have added laying about 250 eggs/day to their daily chore list!  Come and get eggs this Saturday and look for eggs to be for sale at Moose Hill Farm starting in June.  They are also currently available for sale at Appleton Farm's (another farm managed by The Trustees of Reservations on the North Shore) Dairy Store, where you can also purchase Appleton's freshly made milk, yogurt and cheeses.

Hope to see you Saturday!
