Eggs: The farm (and farmer) are completely devoted to chickens.
They get certified organic feed from Black Rock Milling (low soy), certified organic lettuce from T & D Willey Farms (as
their morning treat), and have access to plenty of pasture which is irrigated in the summer. During the winter along with
their chicken houses they have access to two large greenhouses so they have a place to go during rain and snow. Eggs are $6.00/dozen
and are available through Mountain Meadow Farms CSA, and High Country Health in Mariposa. They are also
available in egg flats to restaurants.
Chicken:
Fresh chicken is available seasonally direct from Mountain Meadow Farms or can be prepared for your special event as part
of our catering services. I get the slow-growing cornish cross baby chicks in the mail when they are two days old and pluck
them about four months later. They are cared for in a manner that exceeds the French Label Rouge Standard for poultry.
Fresh chicken is sold whole, perfectly cleaned. $5.00/pound
Heirloom
Tomatoes: The tomatoes are grown in the ground in the two large greenhouses during summer and fall.
There will be a third greenhouse added in 2012 to insure proper crop rotation so we can continue producing a bountiful and
organic harvest. They are seasonally available through Mountain Meadow Farms CSA, the Mariposa Farmer's Market, and High Country
Health. They are also served at local fine restaurants including the Mountain Room and the Ahwahnee in Yosemite Valley,
and Sugar Pine Restaurant in Mariposa. The starts are grown by John Teixeira of Lone Willow Organics. In
2011 I grew about 30 different varieties: Black Krim, Paul Robeson, Kellogh's Breakfast, Fantastic, Flamme, Hawaiian
Pineapple, Marizol Gold, Box Car Willy, Cherokee Chocolate, Moon Glow, Big Russian Roma, Beef Steak, Pale Face, Marizol Bratka,
Vintage Wine, Black Cherry, Pink Brandywine, Chocolate Stripes, Cherokee Purple, Green Zebra, Georgia Streak, Big Beef, German
Red Strawberry, Gold Medal Yellow, Florida Pink, Big Rainbow, Costoluto Genovese, Armenian, Hess. $3/pound
