In contrast to conventional egg producers that cull hens after 2 years of forced maximum egg production, Pigeon River Farm hens are kept until natural death at around 5 years old. Your monthly Tier 1 subscription will be used to help offset our costs in feeding these “senior” hens that no longer lay enough eggs to pay for their feed.

Much like the egg-laying hens in Tier 1, Pigeon River Farm Scottish Highland cows are kept until natural death on the Farm. As they age, these cows first become too old to nurse calves, and eventually they become too old to birth anymore calves. Your monthly Tier 2 subscription will be used to help offset our costs in feeding calves that are unable to nurse, and in feeding these “senior” cows.

Pigeon River Farm uses state-of-the-art soil testing, analysis, and organic-approved amendments to maintain maximum soil health and sustainability. Your monthly Tier 3 subscription will help offset our costs in obtaining the best methods and products on the market to assure maximum crop health and nutrition.

Ongoing Pigeon River Farm infrastructure and equipment upgrades & improvements ensure ongoing farm efficiency and cost-effective production. Your monthly Tier 4 subscription help will help offset our costs in making major improvements to the farm to maintain sustainable operations while we continue “Doing Farming Right”. Tier 4 subscribers may also choose to sponsor Pigeon River Farm educational tour groups with their monthly subscription.
