About the Farm
Background
Located just ten minutes from Summersville, West Virginia, this farm has become known for its unique offerings of heritage and rare breed chickens and ducks. They cater to avant-garde restaurants and delis within the state, providing oven-ready gourmet Barbary (Muscovy) ducks and the very rare Black Indonesian Ayam Cemani chicken. The farm also offers a variety of hatching eggs throughout the year via eBay.
Practices
Spanning over 8 fenced acres, including 1.5 acres of spring-fed pond, the farm ensures that no antibiotics or pesticides are ever used. The birds are free to range, and the farm grows fresh berries and vegetables in season from organic seeds, adhering to organic principles. The farm is also solar-powered, emphasizing a commitment to renewable energy.
The Rest
In addition to poultry and eggs, the farm offers cookies and cakes made with duck eggs, coconut oil, and organic flour, with special orders available. Their West Virginia Brownies are a local favorite. The farm's products can be found on Etsy and eBay under the account ShadyGroveFarmWV, and they maintain a presence on Facebook.
