We have roughly 200 pasture raised chickens of various breeds as well as Cortounix Quail. We sell eggs locally at Sperryville Corner Store, Merry Moo Market and the Rappahannock Natural Food Co-op. Our quail eggs are sold through farmergirls.net in Fauquier County and are currently for sale at the Whole Foods Market in Fair Lakes.
