This is a short video of our 2 week old Khaki Campbell ducklings. They reach maturity in 21 weeks and begin laying delicious and nutritious eggs.
Award-Winning Eggs
Our brown eggs placed 1st in the medium and large brown egg categories at the Shippensburg Community Fair in 2014 and 2015.
The video below shows one of our chickens harvesting seeds from a sunflower towering above her head—smart bird.
Birds at Play
We cultivate our sweet corn rather than using herbicides for weed control. A Farmall Super C tractor equipped with cultivators tills the ground around the corn removing weeds. Watch the video below to see this operation in action.

We offer farm fresh produce from our roadside stand during July and August. You can sign up on our customer list to be notified when produce you are seeking becomes available. Download the Customer Form on the home page, fill it out, and return it to us on your next visit, by mail, or by email.
Farm Fresh Produce
Eggs
Duck Eggs
Our duck eggs are produced by Khaki Campbell and Muscovy ducks. The Khaki Campbell was developed in the early 20th century to be an egg layer and lays year round. The Muscovy, on the other hand, only lays during the spring and some over the summer. There is a size difference with the Muscovy producing an egg in the jumbo category, while the Khaki Campbell lays extra-large eggs.
Pricing
Khaki Campbell $6.00 per dozen
Muscovy $6.00 per dozen
1/2 dozen $3.00
