Welcome to our farm, where we have...

"..bio security to provide our customers with healthy and happy birds."
We practice bio security to provide our customers with healthy and happy birds. We do not have tours or a day at the farm. Unfortunately, shoes and vehicle tires are a pathway for contamination. We have worked extremely hard and value our flocks as part of our extended family. Read more>
"..the strongest and best breeder to carry on the lineage of the flock."
Unlike catering purely to seasonal chick orders, our urban backyard hen market gives us the unique opportunity to watch the hens grow from chicks to pullets. We pick the strongest & best breeder to carry on the lineage of the flock. Read more>

in North America."
Watching our male chicks grow into roosters enables us to select the best ones for our breeding programs. It also gives us the unique opportunity to produce some of the best tasting heritage chickens in North America. Read more>
"..lines of pure bred birds that can be traced back hundreds of years."
Our primary focus is chicken preservation. It’s a circle of sustainability that is driven largely by our efforts to keep the birds that we love for many more generations to come. We have lines of pure bred birds that can be traced back hundreds of years. Read more>
"..chicks for sale that are from the best."
What sets us apart from people who only raise trios or have a few chicks is that we are actually focused on the breeds that we have. 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:
Apple & Corn Finished Pasture-Raised Heritage Type Chicken
This collection is from our heritage type artisan chickens like Le Grand that are faster growth birds. Apple plus our very own organically raised Bellingham Sweet Corn finishing lends a unique flavor to the already wonderful birds we raise, and the apple seems to act almost as a tenderizer. Sweet notes in combination with yellow fat makes this a bird worth the time to cook.

Spring Creek Heritage Farms' Bellingham Sweet Corn. -SOLD OUT!
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. Visit our Available Now page to know more about our Bellingham Sweet Corn.

Fortunately, on the west coast we rarely have negative temps (if you don't count last week). This allows for a wonderful opportunity for the birds to forage the snow and acclimate to their climate post brooder and summer weather. As I sat taking photos today after a couple of toboggan runs, I watched the chickens find bugs and seeds to eat in 8’’ of snow. Thinking about how far we have progressed with birds from far off tropical climates that now are strong enough to go out in all weather. Sometimes it takes a couple of years, others... Read more>
