Golden Egg Farm, where the ducks, sheep and chickens roam
Pottery is produced, Poultry is reproduced and Wool is spun.
Golden Egg Poultry is exhibition-style standard size Indian Runner Ducks and bantam size Silkie chickens of award-winning parents. All of the birds are exotic, rare and or, endangered domestic breeds. Hatching eggs are available year round.
Americauna / Amerileg green eggs for the table are available at farmers markets during the season. All birds are fed lay mash and allowed pasture during good weather .During the winter months,they get vegetables, grains and lay mash. All birds live in small groups and are floor raised and free ranging.
Golden Egg Farm Pottery is terra cotta clay used to produce functional ware, sculpture and ceramic tiles. Slip is used for decoration with a clear glaze. Themes include poultry and nature. I make award tiles for upcoming poultry shows in New England and tiles for kitchen and fireplace surrounds. All tiles can be personalized with lettering and dates. I also make hand-thrown red-ware pie plates with personalized inscriptions and dates for weddings and other special occasions.
Hardwick Wool is hand spun into yarn and available for sale at Farmers Markets during the season and at the farm in the winter. Natural Colors. Also roving may be purchased for your own spinning. These wools come from Romney and Southdown Sheep raised in Hardwick, Ma.
