To help deal with this issue, we decided to put in a small flock of chickens which will provide eggs for distribution into the food boxes. We currently only have 12 hens but our plans are to increase the flock when the Lord provides the resources to build a larger Hen House & Chicken Run. (Photos below)
The poultry operation actually pays for itself as we are generally able to sell the eggs we don't distribute which pays for the chicken feed and other costs. This makes it a Win-Win situation, Praise the Lord!
When we have extra eggs available, we put up a post about them on Craigslist locally. By buying our excess eggs folks are helping to support the ministry. If you would like farm fresh eggs or know folks who would, watch for this Graphic on the Prescott, AZ Craigslist. At present we are asking a donation of $ 4.00 per dozen.
Our hens are Organically Fed & Raised with No hormones, No chemicals & No antibiotics.
Folks can Call 928-215-0863 or 623-252-1834 (Monday thru Saturday) for daily availability.
