"..chicks for sale that are from the best."

We raise birds from breeding stock that has been selected from large preservation flocks. Our goal is to provide our customers with chicks that are from the best. Read more>
"..a no-kill chick farm."
We strive to be unique and more sustainable than any other North American chicken farmer or breeder. Our chicks are sold straight run unless specified as we do not squeeze chicks to ascertain whether they will become useful layers. To us, each and every bird is useful. We are a no-kill chick farm. Our hens and roosters get to experience life and grow into adults on pasture. Read more>
"..our own crops and work with plant genetics.."
Another note of interest is that we raise our own crops and work with plant genetics which are mostly flowers and brassica. We do not use harmful pesticides or insecticides. We believe that nothing beats fresh and all-natural from the ground. Our birds really enjoy the fruit of our labor whether it's Pacific Northwest pumpkins, berries, corn, apples, kale.. Read more>

Some of our Chicken Breeds
Available Now:
Available now from newly hatched chicks to juveniles straight run. Both vaccinated and unvaccinated are available per your choice of how you want to keep your bird. We most often suggest unvaccinated for the poultry breeder who will breed for natural immunity. For the backyard hen, we suggest that you purchase vaccinated birds since they are pets. As we all know, natural immunity in livestock is desired by the majority of breeders. We know that Mareks disease is ubiquitous and the decision is yours to make after doing your research with well established breeders and publications.

Spring Creek Heritage Farms' Bellingham Sweet Corn coming this summer.
Probably the best sweet corn we have eaten and our friends and clients agree. We sell out fast so get on the order list now. Because of the high sugar content, it’s best to eat within a day or two after we hand pick your order at night when it’s cool out. It won’t get stuck in your teeth like traditional corn that is machine harvested in volume. This is an excellent choice for barbecues and family get together. I can almost guarantee that people will ask where you got such delicious corn.
