Free-Range Chickens
We are so proud of our Ivester Family Farm eggs! We currently have 100 hens on our farm!
The “Mercury Six,” as we like to call them (after the Mercury 7 original astronauts), rule the roost as the oldest of our flock! They, along with their 100 girlfriends, are living the dream on the pasture all day, feasting on grass, clover, bugs, and all their favorites. Their free-range lifestyle makes their eggs more nutritious and delicious than conventional eggs. When you try our eggs, you’ll taste the difference!
Our hens have plenty of pasture to be free and live their best lives. They also have access to large, mobile houses with nesting boxes that transport them to fresh pasture every day. These egg mobiles are warm, dry places for them to do what they do best…lay eggs!

Pasture Raised Pork
Getting “Piggy” with it!
Pasture-raised pork is superior in taste as well as in nutritional value. Our pigs are in “hog heaven” foraging in our wooded lands and pastures, just as God intended. Because pigs are omnivores, we supplement their diet with quality feed. They never receive hormones or antibiotics, and we use a USDA-inspected processing facility for all our cuts of pork. We try to keep a variety of cuts available all year round, including our delicious bacon and sausage.
The Latest Addition to our Growing Farm!
Dolly and Molly are Charolais and Black Angus calves that just arrived on the Ivester Family Farm! Their job is to grow into beautiful mothers and produce future calves that will help populate our farm! Dolly and Molly love to munch on fresh grass in the pastures and chill out under one of their favorite shade trees.
Say Hello to Conway and Loretta!
Conway and Loretta may not sing, but they can sure make a lot of noise! Our pair of geese are the best of friends and stick together as they hang out with the chickens on the farm.
They’re very territorial so they do a great job helping us protect the chickens from predators while out in the pasture.
