What We Grow
Certified Organic Produce
Hop N Hen Farm is a certified organic for fruits and vegetables. We grow a wide variety of vegetables: from asparagus to zucchini. We grow the classics like Brandywine tomatoes and butternut squash, and new favorites like zesty microgreens and Carolina Reaper (r) hot peppers. 2023 is our fourth year growing vegetables in our High Tunnel, a semi-controlled environment that allows us to start growing earlier in the spring and harvest later into the fall.
Fruits
Some of the fruits grown at our farm include rhubarb, raspberries, peaches, and pears.
Eggs
Our flock of Buff Orpinton, Rhode Island Red, and Barred Rock hens provide us with delicious eggs. As soon as the weather permits they leave the winter coop and move out to the field and into their chick-shaw. Electric poultry netting is used to keep predators away.

Broiler Chickens
From April to October we raise over 700 Cornish-Cross broiler chickens. From one day old to about three weeks old they are kept warm and safe in our brooding coop. When the chicks have grown their true feathers, they are moved out onto organic pasture, where they peck and scratch. We keep our broilers in large well-ventilated, covered pens, providing them with plenty of clean air and sunshine, while protecting against foxes, coyotes, and other predators, as well as the weather.. If interested, go to the “How to Order Poultry” page.
Turkeys
Broad-breasted white turkeys are raised from day old chicks till Thanksgiving. Turkeys are kept in turkey size mobile tractors, that move daily about the field to new grass and new views. We really enjoy their curious nature and their whistling, cooing, and gobbling!
Processing
We processes all our broiler chickens and turkeys on the farm.
On Sunday June 4, 2023 we will be hosting a workshop for SBFNH members, on how to use the MPU. Check out their website for registration information.
