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 introduced a number of new pullets to the flock and have moved everyone to the new hen house. The view is fantastic, and for the sports fans among them, they get a better view of the scoreboard down at the ball park. They've been hearing of "fowl balls" for so long now—finally they will be able to watch for themselves.
