Hey There!
I’m Brandelyn
My journey to chicken keeping wasn’t a straight path. Like many of you, I grappled with questions, faced setbacks, and navigated through the maze of beginning a backyard flock of chickens. What started 13 years ago as a desire to provide my little family with truly organic, fresh eggs everyday, turned into starting a full on homestead. Here we not only raise chickens and turkeys for eggs and meat, but now have our own little herd of dairy goats that provide all of our families dairy needs, and huge gardens where we grow our own produce. We raise pigs every other year to fill our freezers with organic pork, and hunt and fish for any remaining protein needs.
My chicken obsession turned into a business selling fresh eggs, and breeding rare breed poultry. I now teach courses on backyard chicken keeping, helping to get others started on their own personal journey. After years of welcoming others to my farm for my “Chickens 101” class, I finally put pen to paper to release my own comprehensive book, making my knowledge more accesible to all!
Through my experiences, I’ve learned that the essence of homesteading is not just in the destination but in the journey itself. And for many, Chickens are a wonderful first step.
