Helping the Hungry
One Egg at a Time
We are a non-profit with the goal of bringing farm fresh food to the hungry and forgotten. We raise free range chickens, primarily for egg production. The quality of the eggs when free ranging on open pasture is exceedingly good and noticeably better than store bought eggs. We donate these eggs to local food banks and hope to substantially increase egg production in order to be able to meet future demands.
Saint Brigid of Ireland
Patron Saint of Poultry Farmers
Saint Brigid was raised by Druids in Ireland and as a child heard St. Patrick preach.
She never forgot that and it was St. Patrick who heard her final vows upon entering into the convent.
She founded a double monastery in Kildare, an art school and many convents all over Ireland.
Her extraordinary spirituality, charity and compassion for those distressed were legendary.
Raising Healthy Poultry
Free Range
Chickens are natural ‘busy bodies’. Confining them in cages produces a flaccid, unhealthy bird and the eggs are noticeably different in a bad way. When we move the chickens to fresh grass, you can see and feel their anticipation and excitement to get out there.
Pasture Raised
Getting the chickens out on a natural grass pasture in the sunshine and fresh air is one of the best ways to keep them healthy. Our chickens feast on insects, while roaming the fields and orchards.
It’s good to be a chicken at Saint Brigid’s Farm!
Non-GMO
Chickens naturally forage for insects for good reason, they provide a boost of protein, calcium, and are the ultimate tasty treat in the wild. We use chicken feed with dried insects, farm-fresh vegetables, and whole grains for a robust daily diet.
