OMGoodness!! I'd love to come... I'm going to beg my hubs!!! BEG I tell ya! IDK what it'll get me? Sometimes I get really lucky & other times... well, not so much!

I have my own little business, which isn't chicken related, BUT it's farming related! It's called The Hometown Hive & we specialize in all natural honeybee products. Our product line up includes locally harvested, raw honey & 100% all natural beeswax candles & melts scented with essential oils. We've been migratory beekeepers since 1978!


If we come, can I bring some stuff?

Also, are kids allowed? My son is 3.5 & id' love for him to experience some Micro Farming fun,too!

Everyone is welcomed and we would love to see the stuff you have for sale! If you have a portable table you could set up a little booth! I'm so excited, it should be so much fun!

Doors open at 10am

*Do you have chicks to sell or swap? Bring them!*

New to chicken keeping and don’t know where to start?
Come on out, there will be plenty of people who know a thing or two, ideas for coop design, insight on getting started, what you need and what you don’t. Take this opportunity to learn from others experience. We’ll have take home pamphlets to help you get started too.

We will put out sandwiches and fruit. Iced tea and ice water will also be available. Feel free to “potluck it” and add something to the table.
Be sure to bring any tables and chick wrangling pens you may need. Planning to buy chicks, be sure you bring a box, crate or enclosed carrier to safely transport them home

I hatch with two almost 20 year old Hovabators. One was a gift from my Grandpa for my 12th birthday and the other was his that he bought at the same time. He never used his and recently gave it to me. Mine went on the fritz a few months ago with random temp spikes. It has been used every couple years since my 12th birthday until now and I am 30 so I'd say that was a pretty good run. The other worked perfectly out of the box. Pretty sure I can fix the other one too.

As for humidity, I have experimented over the years and have found the less fussing I do with the incubators the more success I have. That being said, this book came with my incubator and taught me everything I needed to know as far as hatching goes.

It's still in my library with my kid scribbles and pictures in it from my first hatches.
