Farm Products
Our main products are eggs and quail meat. Occasionally or seasonally, we have other things to offer. If there is something you are looking for or questions you have please let us know through the contact form.
Quail Eggs
Our quail are fed high protein crumble and fresh clover sprouts. Quail eggs taste just like chicken eggs but are higher in protein, iron, and B vitamins by weight. Approximately 3 quail eggs are the equivalent of 1 large chicken egg. The shells are thin with a thick inner membrane so are best opened with the tip of a knife or with special scissors. Fresh quail eggs peel easily after hard boiling. Quail egg scissors are available for purchase.
Chicken Eggs
Our chickens are primarily fed layer crumble & spent brewer's grain from a local brewery. Scratch grains, fodder and sprouts, and treats from the garden and kitchen are included regularly. The "girls" enjoy a protected free range environment. Our eggs come in a variety of shell colors to brighten your day! Available year round, with occasional limitations during the winter months.
Quail Meat
Our quail are finished on Non-GMO feed and supplemented with fresh clover sprouts. They are harvested and packaged at home using humane and sanitary methods. We operate under a federal poultry exemption which allows us to harvest and package at home without inspections. Each package weighs between 1.1-1.25lbs and contains 4-5 quail.
(Year round availability) Large orders require a pre-order.
Other Poultry Meat
Whole turkey and chicken is available seasonally. These are finished in small batches on Non-GMO feed and Spent Brewer's Grain from a local brewery. The birds are raised in a free range environment to allow natural growth and behaviors. They are harvested at home under the same federal exemption used for the quail. Pre-orders and a deposit may be required. (Limited availability)
Rabbits
Our New Zealand rabbits are grand champion meat rabbits from a local fair. They are bred to produce kits for regional market shows for local youth. We do not participate in ARBA or registration. Extra kits are occasionally available for home harvest , homestead meat production, or whole prey dog/raptor feeding. (Limited availability)
From the Garden
We garden for our own use, and occasionally have extra to offer. Herbs, vegetables, succulents, and seedlings are available in limited amounts, seasonally. If you have a specific interest, connect with us through the contact form and we will be happy to discuss your needs.
Goats and Sheep
We raise Mini Nubian goats and Hampshire cross sheep for our own meat and milk needs. Our kids and lambs are occasionally available for youth livestock shows, as breeders, or as homestead additions. We time our breeding specifically for the Nevada Junior Livestock Show and Nevada Agricultural Fair. Limited availability. No registration. Biosecurity tested herd/flock.
Live birds & Whole Prey Birds
Live Coturnix quail are available year round in various age ranges. We breed for size, consistency, and docility and are happy to answer questions and offer advice to help new quail owners be successful.
Quail can be ordered as whole prey for falconer, reptile, and raw feeding enthusiasts. Pre-orders are required for humane harvesting by weight and are frozen after packaging. A 50 bird minimum is required.
