Silva Star Farms is a small sustainable agriculture farm located three miles west of downtown Sebastopol, CA. What once was a typical Sonoma county mono-culture apple orchard is now a poly-culture farm with chicken, turkeys, lambs, goats, and pigs foraging and fertilizing underneath the trees and in the open pastures. We also plant produce between the trees after fertilizing the soil with the animals. We practice crop and pasture rotation to help prevent pest problems and keep a sanitary and ecologically sound environment throughout the farm. We purchase all of our feeds locally and when possible all of our supplies. Stay tuned as this site will grow with more information. Feel free to join us on Twitter to keep abreast of farm news: http://twitter.com/SilvaStarFarm
We raise happy chicken in our pesticide free apple orchards and pastures. They have access to freely forage among the trees during the day and organic feed twenty-four hours a day. We take orders in advance of the harvest, and you pick your reserved birds up right at our farm between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm the day following harvest, pay when you pick up.
Price Per Pound: $6.00
We also offer live freedom ranger chicks at various ages so you can raise your own!
