Thane's chickens are laying eggs by the bushel! If you need farm-fresh eggs in the Franklin, IL area look no further! Thane's eggs are $3 per dozen.

Thane is not the first Bergschneider boy to be a poultry producer. Luke and Thad both raised and sold poultry for their FFA SAEs. In fact, Luke was the 2019 Illinois State FFA Poultry Production Award winner. Though the poultry may look a little different now these boys have birds in their blood!

 Earlier this spring Clark wrapped up his lambing season with a whopping 12 lambs from his 5 Katahdin x St. Croix ewes. Daphne and Velma (Clark's guardian dogs) made it through their first lambing season like professionals and are ready to handle many more. The lambs are growing like weeds and the sheep are ready to be put out to pasture. Clark plans to keep his ewe lambs and continue to grow his little herd. This means it's time to begin looking for a new ram. We are looking for a ram. If you or someone you know has a ram looking for new pasture shoot us an email or a message! 

Our savior has risen and spring has sprung! It was great to be surrounded by our family to celebrate Easter on such a beautiful weekend. Things are beginning to green up here at the farm, and activities are starting to pick back up. Clark’s sheep are beginning to shed their winter coats and looking to lamb sometime in May. We are expecting 6+ lambs this spring. Daphne and Velma, the Anatolian Shepard x Great Pyrenees guard dog pups that came to call the farm home this fall, have grown a ton.
In other news, Thane’s chickens are laying for the first time! If you are interested in buying eggs in the Franklin area reach out! He raised these hens from chicks he got last year. We have also been preparing equipment and resting up for the upcoming planting season. 

We hope you had as great a weekend celebrating Easter with your friends and family  as we did!
