Rusty Plow Acres

The farm began with a desire to produce healthier eggs and meat for the family, free of hormones and steroids. Over time, they fell in love with chickens and farmsteading, leading to growth and the decision to offer surplus eggs for sale.

The farm practices safe and eco-friendly stewardship, focusing on self-sufficiency. Their free range chickens, including Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rock, Cornish Rocks, Americanas, and Marans, are raised without hormones and steroids, resulting in healthier eggs that are higher in protein and lower in cholesterol compared to store-bought eggs.

The farm offers a variety of egg colors, including shades of brown, white, chocolate, and blue-green, often with double yolks. They hold a West Virginia Department of Agriculture Egg Distributor Permit (Dist. 1259) and plan to offer other varieties and fresh produce as they continue to grow.
