Rhode Island Red hen @ Stone Barns Center
The Hens at
Stone Barns Center are free range...they have a large area to roam that is bordered by movable fences so they lead a nomadic life feeding off whatever feed they get and the natural indigenous plants growing in their temporary fields as seen here. I have just been through 2 dozen of the eggs and they were wonderful. If you don't know Stone Barns then check out their website. They are leaders in the "farm to table" concept which I witnessed last week first hand.
When I was in NYC at the IACP conference last year, Stone Barns Center was featured prominently. There were guest speakers as well...interesting.
