We are certified organic, and raise some of the best produce in this area in our humble opinion. No Pesticides! We know what goes into it. That's important!
We'll give you the opportunity to find out for yourself—visit us on Saturdays at the OSU-OKC Horticulture Pavilion.
Our hens are free-range during the day, and are penned at night for their safety. There have been a number of "daylight raids" lately with all signs pointing to a rogue chicken hawk with an appreciation of Berry Creek poultry. While we are pleased that it recognizes the quality, we are searching for a way to "encourage" it to move on. The modified may pole seems to be working. It's a thing of beauty.
When not taking cover, our flock is tasked to work insect control with their cousins, the guineas, to allow our vegetables to remain pesticide free. One of our girls was even a star in a local play at the Lyric Theatre, but the fast pace and bright lights gave her stress. She longed for the simple life so she moved back home to the farm. She has not returned to the stage, but still entertains the brood with tales of her adventures.
We've are introducing the flock to chicken tractors so click on the link for a PDF with more information. These enclosures keep them safe at night, give them a place to roost and nest, and are able to be moved around the farm to allow them better access to bugs, help to fertilize around the farm, and give them a bit more variety and excitement in their days. We are still refining and making improvements with each version, but the girls do seem happy with their new homes on the range.
