About our Family & Farm

MEET AMANDA

The woman behind Amanda’s Eggs! She’s had chickens since she was a little girl. It was in 2009 when she decided to take her knowledge and passion for birds full-time, starting her farm with just 36 hens, selling mostly to neighbors and locals. In the year that followed, Amanda added 300 additional chickens and started to expand her operation to wholesale, marketing to meat markets, local food coops, grocers, restaurants, cafes, and kitchens.

The business steadily grew to a flock of 2000 layers. She also welcomed 500-1500 Broiler chickens last spring and recently acquired Special Blacks that she markets directly to those who prefer fresh poultry that they can prepare themselves.

GROWING FARM & FAMILY

During the time that the farm was growing, Amanda and Nick’s family was too. Her daughter Clare Frances was just two, her daughter Margaret Catherine was born in 2009, followed by Emery Nicholas in 2011, and, last but not least, Anna Rose in 2014. The children have always been an essential part of the operation, collecting, washing, packing, and of course cleaning pens. Their favorite part is when the new chicks arrive.

Amanda feels blessed to be able to model good work ethic, perseverance, entrepreneurship, good customer service, good ethics and honesty, respectful animal husbandry/welfare, and respectful stewardship for the animals and land for her family and friends.
