Community Supported "Eggriculture" Meeting
This Saturday, February 24th,
11:00 Tour
12:00 Lunch, presentation of CSE concept and discussion in the Roadside Barn, over quiche of course.
We invite you, our community, to support growing the flock of laying hens at Pie Ranch in return for a weekly share of the harvest and a deep connection to the source of your eggs. Join us in the creation of a Community Supported Eggs (CSE) project.
The team at Pie Ranch has been raising a small flock for the past 2 years and we’re now up to 45 hens. Some of you have experienced the healthy, fresh taste of our eggs and have expressed that you want more! We are ready to expand production, and we want to do it with the commitment of the community. Really, we can’t do it without you!
You are invited to our first shareholder meeting where we will present our production practices and our vision of Community Supported Eggs.
Please join us!
Where:
Please come and first meet at the Roadside Barn on Hwy 1 and Green Oaks Way (2080 Cabrillo Hwy, Pescadero 94060 – for mapping/thorough directions).

“Land Trusts can help in keeping farmland more affordable, but we need enterprising young farmers interested in growing a healthy diversity of crops for local markets. This project has the potential to attract such energy.”
