Haines Farms chickens

Haines Farms, just north of Richmond, Missouri, consists of 15 partially wooded acres, lots of pasture, a spring-fed well, stocked pond, and plenty of natural wildlife. Doug Haines raises laying hens here through his own labor, with two nanny goats for weed control. He took over the property in 1993, but it has been in the family since the 1970s.

Haines Farms started with just gardens and fruit trees, but in 2004 the first hens arrived. Doug is proud to still have three of these original ladies, two of which are still laying. No animals are ever sold, given away, or butchered at Doug’s farm; they live a full life producing healthy, fresh eggs.

Doug takes great pride in the way he operates his farm, and letting the animals live a happy and natural life. Being Animal Welfare Approved adds to that pride and he is committed to remaining certified as long as he continues to raise animals.
