About the farm

How it started

Three years ago, I just wanted fresh eggs and a healthier way to eat. So I bought ten chickens and kept them at home, until three months in I learned I couldn't keep chickens on my property. A friend with a farm offered them a new home, and the flock moved there.

Then egg prices started to soar, and it just didn't seem right. So I added 25 more chickens and started selling eggs to family, friends, and coworkers. That's when CS Farmstead started becoming a real thing.

We've kept growing ever since, selling more eggs and adding more chickens every year. Today the flock is about 160 egg-laying chickens strong.

What Our Chickens Eat

Besides the fresh grass they forage on pasture every day, here's what goes into our chickens' feeders.

Good eggs start with good feed

We believe a great egg starts long before it lands in the carton. That's why every one of our chickens is fed a 19% layer feed from Stone House Grain, a feed mill up in Hudson, New York.

Their feed is organic and made to keep our hens healthy, strong, and laying well. It's the same feed we put in front of our flock every single day, because what our hens eat ends up in the eggs your family eats.

Why we do it

We do this for one simple reason: we want to give you the healthiest eggs we possibly can. When you crack open a CS Farmstead egg, we want you to feel good about what you're serving at your table.

Along with their layer feed, our chickens also get scratch from Stone House Grain as a treat they love. It's one more way we make sure everything our flock eats comes from a source we trust.

Healthy hens on good organic feed make for eggs we're proud to share.
