Did you know? The happier the hens, the more – and better – eggs they produce. The Rhode Island Red hens responsible for Five Acre Farms Local Eggs are cage free. They live in climate-controlled barns, have access to feed and water at all times and are checked on several times during the day and night. Farmers George and Jackie Devoid of Maple Meadow Farm interact with their hens regularly, monitoring their behavior and checking on feed, water and lighting. They make sure that the hens are alert, bright-eyed and calm, have smooth feathers and are laying consistently – the primary signs of happy, healthy hens.

Makers of Five Acre Farms Local Apple Cider, Bill Suhr and Andrea Scott of Champlain Orchards use growing practices that have a minimal impact on the environment. They follow IPM (short for Integrated Pest Management) guidelines, the leading approach to controlling pests while minimizing environmental and health effects. As part of their IPM program, they actively monitor their trees year-round to reduce the use of pesticides while relying more on non-synthetic fertilizers.
The result? Delicious apple cider made from spectacular fruit grown with techniques that work with the environment, not against it.
