With eighteen years of experience, eleven acres of land, and about 350 chickens, Meg and her husband, Joel, owners of Meg’s Eggs free-range farm, thoroughly enjoy raising chickens and producing the “happiest” fresh eggs for the Ottsville community every day.
At Meg’s Eggs, there are a total of about 350 birds with 24 separate breeds and six color variations, as well as endangered chickens and foster peeps. Not only is this the place for chickens to roam free with fresh water, shade and protection provided naturally, it is also a miniature haven for other animals, including ducks, geese, deer, guinea birds and the owners’ cat, Garfield, who all get along with one another.
“It is the place to be,” says Meg. “All of the animals are friendly and happy because they are in their natural environment. Their diet includes natural grains, fruit and veggie scraps, and oyster shells. The chickens live life eating whatever they want and do whatever they want, and they certainly have distinct personalities to show it.” Every day at Meg’s Eggs is a humorous adventure, and a great way to learn and interact with the free-range happy chickens up close and personal.
Meg’s Eggs are distributed to the neighbors and Kimberton Whole Foods in Ottsville, Pennsylvania within 24 hours. The next time you are in the Ottsville area, stop by Meg’s Eggs farm to visit the friendliest chickens and Kimberton Whole Foods to receive the freshest and “happiest” eggs on the market!

For twenty years, Duane and Deborah, owners of Highspire Hills Farm, have been producing high-quality jumbo, large and extra-large brown eggs from the best layers around, the Golden Comet chickens.
“It all began as a hobby for Duane, who bought the farm years and years ago with only 50 chickens,” says Deborah, “and now today we have a total of about 1300 chickens all of which live comfortably and free to roam in a sustainable and practical ‘chicken hotel’ environment.”
At Highspire Hills Farm, there are organically-fed and conventionally-fed chickens. One year ago, Duane and Deborah formed a partnership with Kimberton Whole Foods to raise non-GMO chickens, which are fed with non-GMO and organic feed, and now have a total of 250 organic birds! As well as eating organic or conventional feed, all of the chickens at Highspire Hills eat the produce compost from KWF at Downingtown, and according to Deborah, “the chickens absolutely love the produce!”
With producing 45 dozen eggs a day and having a turnaround less than 7 days, Highspire Hills Farm delivers their eggs to specialty restaurants in the area, including Victory Brewing Company, Ron’s Original, Dilworthtown Inn and its Blue Pear Bistro, and of course Kimberton Whole Foods. It even has its own farm store for family, friends, neighbors and anyone who would like to purchase the best eggs in town. So the next time you are in the Downingtown area, stop by Highspire Hills Farm in Glenmoore, Pennsylvania to try the biggest and best naturally-produced brown eggs in the area!

For those of you who came out for the Seven Stars farm tour last Saturday 7/2/11 - thank you!
Barbeques, fireworks and ...local organic yogurt? Kicking off the Fourth of July weekend, as well as our 25thyear anniversary, Kimberton Whole Foods will be offering a farm tour of Seven Stars Farm this coming weekend.
As part of our 25th year anniversary, we will be recognizing our local farmers for their food contributions to providing Real Food from Local Roots and belief in organic and/or biodynamic farming methods. Throughout July and August, KWF will be hosting a variety of farm tours from dairy farms to poultry farms to orchards.
On Saturday, July 2nd from 3pm-5pm, join KWF for a wonderful tour of Seven Stars Farm to learn more about biodynamic and organic farming methods and the production of high-quality, European-style, local organic yogurt. Seven Stars Farm is a 350 acre certified Biodynamic dairy farm located in northern Chester County, PA. Seven Stars yogurt is sold via natural foods distributors throughout the eastern United States (and can be found at Kimberton Whole Foods stores!) One interesting fact is that before Kimberton Whole Foods became a full blown organic grocery store, it actually began in 1986 as the Seven Stars Farm store, selling exclusively yogurt!
Seven Stars Farm is located at 501 West Seven Stars Road, Phoenixville, Pa (closest to our Kimberton location). Farm tours are limited, so please visit our events page to reserve your spot!
Please go directly to the farm to attend the tour. We encourage those who attend the farm tours to wear appropriate clothing and shoes, and to bring water and snacks as it may be hot. At the farm, please be courteous of the farm and animals, and use discretion when disposing of your garbage.
Visit our brand new online store, just added! Available for purchase is our great 18x24 Mother Nature poster!
Proceeds for the poster go towards PASA's Brownback Scholarship Fund, which allows young/new farmers to attend the yearly Farming for the Future conference free of charge.
