Welcome to Chickenhood Ranch, located in the quaint town of Moorpark CA in Ventura county. This 36 acre farm slogan is “no slaughter only laughter”. They have rescued many animals that were headed to the slaughter house. Their farm has a wide variety of animals, which include 17 llamas, 30 cows, 3 Donkeys, an abundance of Chickens that lay about 300 eggs daily, 60 Roosters and about 20 ducks. We had the pleasure to tour with Yuvi, Wane, and Aharm. Chickenhood Ranch is a Natural, Chemical Free, Hormone Free, ORGANIC Fed egg no concept of spent hens. They take pride in it!

Apricot Lane Farms Tour

We love when new Farms join the Markets – but we especially love when they encourage us to come tour & appreciate their Farm!

I was lucky enough to spend some time at Apricot Lane Farms a couple weeks ago & got the VIP treatment with the owners Molly & John Chester.

Located in Moorpark California, this amazing Farm is home to pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, horses, guinea hens, & highland cattle. Their land consists of Biodynamic Certified Avocado & Lemon Orchards, as well as a vegetable garden, pastures & 75 varieties of Stone Fruit!

I completely fell in love with the Farm’s spirit & commitment to a thriving ecosystem. The 5 principles of their Farming Intent (listed below) comes shining through in their foods, as well as the happiness of their animals. I am so thankful for all their hospitality and hope to get the opportunity to visit them again soon!

Come stop by this inspiring Farm’s booth every Saturday at our Calabasas Farmers Market!
