adjusting our sails


We have exciting times ahead of us here at Ruby Hills Organics!

We are in the process of shifting to a superb slice of land at Walkerville - not too far from here.  There are big changes ahead of us - firstly we are not going to be milking cows anymore.  Whilst this will be a big change, we are looking forward to the freeing up of Nic's time to invest it more in the chooks.

The land we have found is not currently Certified Organic - so we'll be doing that as soon as we step onto the land.  It does however have favourable history - in that it hasn't had any chemical fertiliser and or weed sprays on the paddocks for at least 5 years.  The Certification process will take time, however, so there'll be a change in our egg cartons while we are in certification process.

We are busy with soil testing, selling cattle and sorting our family out for the big move.  We can only hope that our loyal customers continue their amazing support of our spectacular eggs.  

Rest assured that our eggs will remain the same through this process - they'll be eating the same soy free Certified Organic feed and have open access to paddock grasses, herbs and bugs 24 hours a day.  And as always - treated with respect and love.

Happy trails to you and yours from me and mine -- we'll keep you posted!
~Nic and Amy and the little ones
