OUR STORY
A hobby turned into so much more
Beginning with our first flock of 10 in 2019, to over 80 in 2022, chickens have been such a joy to have at our home that we decided to share the eggs of our hens with our entire Athens community.
ABOUT Wildflower Homestead
In 2019, I got my first flock of chickens from Tractor Supply. Carolina was 6 months old and I had a feeling that I didn't want her to know life without these fluffy, feathered friends.
​
After we started collecting eggs, I would give some to friends, neighbors, and family. It was something that made my heart feel so full that I talked Sam into us getting 15 more after moving from our first house in Hull to our home in Winterville. I quickly realized (as did Sam) that once I started, I could not stop myself from getting a flock that would extend beyond our friends and family, but to our whole community as well.
​
With many bumps along the way, we have managed to raise a flock of over 80 chickens that we hope will supply our family and YOURS with farm fresh, pasture raised, well-loved chicken eggs in a beautiful variety of colors. I meticulously selected these breeds based on behavior and egg color, so when you open your egg carton, you not only see sustenance for your family, but a sample of natural beauty.
Based on the eggs laid that day, your egg carton may contain white, cream, brown, olive, blue, speckled olive, chocolate brown, and speckled brown eggs.
​
Our eggs are currently available via roadside egg cooler (7 days a week) or Tuesday delivery.
I hope you enjoy!
100% Pasture Raised
Free-ranging for 10+ hours a day, our chickens enjoy the 2 acre pasture in front of our house where they can eat bugs and greens as long as the sun is up before putting themselves to roost in a cozy barn where they are kept safe predators and the elements.
