Flock Shares


2007 FLOCK SHARE

Own Your Own Chickens!
Ever wanted to own your chickens but couldn’t?
Well, now is your chance!

Buy a share in my flock and receive all the benefits without the work. Each week receive the fruit of the flock delivered fresh to the market. One share covers the whole market season or 24 weeks; ½ a share covers 12 weeks, etc.

FULL SHARE - $72 (24 weeks)

HALF SHARE - $36 (12 weeks)



The flock is:
ɵ Free Pastured ɵ Organically Fed

ɵ Humanely Treated ɵ Open To Inspection



How does the Flock Share work?
Similar to a CSA (community supported agriculture), individuals are invited to invest in my flock, becoming part owners. Shares are purchased for an agreed upon price. As a co-owner you are entitled to the fruit of the flock including eggs, meat and fertilizer. You also get to come and inspect the flock, a treat in itself. They really are healthy birds and very athletic - a pleasure to watch.

The Garden Grows






From this in late Fall of 2006...


















To this in late May 2007. And there's more that's not in the photo.

Garden Menu

What's On the Menu?

Been serving up typical spring fair at the market so far;
- green onions
- green garlic (german red stiffneck)
- radishes (easter egg, daikon, french breakfast)
- spinach
- swiss chard
- leaf lettuce mix
- mizuna mustard
- asian greens mix
- and a few other greens.

AS ALWAYS, get to the market early for best selection.

The peas are now blooming and it won't be long until they come in. Beets, turnips and kohlrabi are getting to size and I'll start bringing some small ones in a week or two. Beans are making a good show and will be ahead in late June/ July.

Everyone is welcome to come out to the garden to inspect things or pitch in. Fridays are harvest days. email jake (at) grandprairiefood.com
