Egg Farming Best Practices: Maple Meadow Farm

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.
