Apprentice or intern, and get an up close and personal look at what it takes to farm in a way that helps heal the planet and build strong food systems. We are offering a paid apprenticeship for aspiring farmers (via the Savanna Institute Agroforestry Apprenticeship program) as well as an unpaid internship for college students. Come learn with us! Besides selling Ostrich chicks, we also sell ostrich, Rhea, peacocks, and Emu hatching eggs for those of you that want to incubate and hatch your own ostriches on your farm. Ostrich and emu hatching eggs for sale are of the highest quality!
Our hatching eggs are sent by priority mail and should be to you within 3-4 days after that breed hatching date. They should be set within seven days of our shipping them. The ideal holding temperature before setting is 60 degrees. As incubation times vary due to the incubator temperature, we recommend placing the eggs in the incubator during the middle of the week if you are hatching these in a classroom. We guarantee the Ostrich Chicks and Fertile Eggs to be true to breed variety and to arrive in good condition. We sell top-quality, farm-fresh fertile hatching eggs. All you need to do is place them in an egg incubator and see them hatch! The quality of the hatching eggs is excellent and we have recorded up to 98% hatch rates in our Sure hatch Egg incubators using these fertile broiler eggs.

All pigs were born between Sept 15-20, 2021. The sows of the pigs are Large Black and the boar is a farm cross, likely York / Duroc and maybe some Hampshire (he was bought as a feeder pig and kept intact due to his awesome demeanor).
Pigs wore born and raised outside on pasture. The pigs have only had non-GMO grain. They are trained to 2 strands of hot wire fence and if they know it's hot, they'll stay in one strand. They are rotated and respect a "dead" single wire while transitioning wires to a new paddock. |
