Located in the Friendship Community of Honea Path, Putney Farm is ten-acres of rolling pasture/woodland mix. Using organic and sustainable practices, we raise perennials and herbs, cut flowers, veggies, and free-range chickens. Because we wanted some fresh, pure eggs for ourselves, we started with a few hens for eggs. The flavor was so good that we were encouraged to raise more hens and to sell our eggs. We never have caught up with the demand for fresh, uncontaminated, pastured eggs, and, as people like you make more healthy choices about what we eat, the demand continues to grow. We love our chickens, and we love the way of life, and can’t see giving it up for any amount of money. The hens themselves repay us just by being themselves, with their antics! They are quite clever and amusing. Among the 300+ – who live with us are Americana/Auracauna (Blue/Green or pink eggs) Rhode Island Reds,(Cherry-eggers), Buff-Orpingtons (light Brown eggs), and Morans, the “Coocoo” kind, who lay “chocolate” colored eggs. We are known for the variety of colored eggs in the carton, which we call “Rainbow Eggs”. These come beautifully displayed in a sturdy clear plastic carton (recycled from PET water bottles), dishwasher safe, and already recycled from PET water bottles.
We hope that you enjoy our eggs and that you will be encouraged to do something towards our common goals to stop poisoning our collective selves and our planet. We feel that we are a part of the movement to bring real food back and to conserve the earth’s resources. We encourage recycling, reusing, and reducing our impact on the environment. LOOK FOR US IN THE “EGGS” CATEGORY, AND IN “PLANTS”
