Homestead on the Hill

Nutrition!

All our feathered kiddos get fresh, organic (mostly from our garden), clean foods. If we do not grow it, the farmstead, homestead, orchard, etc. we are purchasing from, has been vetted and is 100% organic. We eat most of the same foods they do, with the exception of meats. Yes, you read that right, the humans on the homestead do not eat meat. We obviously eat eggs.
