Putney Farm... Locally Grown Herbs n' Eggs |
 |
|
We do all phases of our operation by hand, including feeding, collecting eggs, washing, sorting, and packaging the eggs. In the daytime our hens and roosters range on pasture and wooded areas, free-choice, returning to the hen house to lay eggs and at liberty. As evening approaches, our hens return to roost in their building , and we close the doors, to keep them comfortable and safe from predators. Our eggs are fertile. . We use a deep- litter method of hen- housekeeping , in which we build up a deep layer of organic matter, such as leaves, and let the hens compost it all winter. This produces warmth in the winter. By spring, we have plenty of rich compost on our hen-house floor. We raise plants in gallon pots, which we sell through the Downtown Greenville SC Saturday Market and through our on line market. We also use them in our garden design business. We use no chemicals on our farm. We use companion planting and natural plant-based repellents, when necessary. We love the earth and want to keep it, and us, well. |
