A harvest ends. A flock doesn’t. This isn’t a countdown to one day. It’s the standing record of a working flock, rewritten every morning, one blue egg at a time.

The ground they work

the flock follows the cattle and sheep across the pasture. Exact location kept private.

Our hens aren’t parked on one yard, and they’re not marched on a schedule. They range the pastures freely, wandering wherever they like, often across ground the cattle and sheep have already grazed. They earn their keep as they go: scratching manure apart, eating fly larvae before they can hatch, and spreading fertility with every step. Free pest control, a cleaner pasture, and better ground for the next graze.

The rotation, this season

Moved onto fresh range 7 times so far this season, roaming the pastures on their own clock.

What they eat

pasture first, then the best feed we could find

The whole day is forage: bugs, seeds, and greens, whatever fresh ground offers. It’s the job chickens were built for, and it’s what turns the yolks deep orange. Whatever pasture doesn’t cover, their feed does.

Why the eggs are blue

two heritage breeds, and a bit of shell chemistry
Blue all the way through

The blue isn’t painted on. The color goes into the shell as the egg forms, so it runs all the way through. Crack one and it’s blue on the inside too. A brown egg is only brown on the surface.

Cream Legbar

An English heritage breed with a punk-rock crest of feathers, and one of the few chickens where you can tell the hens from the roosters the day they hatch. Lays a soft sky-blue egg.

Whiting True Blue

Bred in Colorado by a scientist better known for fly-fishing feathers. Chosen for two things: vivid blue eggs and a real love of foraging.

What “verified” means

No memory. No marketing. Just the record.

✓The flock count and every move are logged in the field, the day they happen. This page reads straight from that record.
✓The numbers come from the working system that runs the farm. It’s the same one the farmer lives by.
✓Nothing here is typed up to sound better later. The record is the story, and it changes as the flock does.
The farm behind the record

The flock lives at The Wildwoods Farm in Hadley Township, Michigan: cattle, sheep, and laying hens on 50 acres of healing ground. Weekly egg shares are open now, and a passport like this stands behind every carton.
