What is Heritage Poultry??

Check this link out to get more information on the breeds we are trying to preserve and their interesting history.


So far we have...... I believe it's 8, but I will have to check with the boss on that one.  


Want to help contribute to our cause??  We welcome donations in any amount.  It all adds up and allows us to feed and vet the birds here.








What are we? Who are we? Where are we?

We are a Florida state recognized non profit organization.  We are a hands on educational farm that focuses on raising and breeding heritage poultry on the critical list, meaning they are pretty much endangered.  Along side the breeding of these particular chickens we also raise and breed peacocks in almost all colors imaginable.  


Since we are an educational farm we do have the curriculum here for the 4H and FFA programs.  We also have birds here that are of show quality and encourage those children to visit us for a closer look before picking their pet.  It doesn't stop with 4H and FFA, we also cater to the general public that is looking to learn a few things about these birds.  Everyone that comes by has a blast on learning, being hands on, and asking all the questions they've never been able to ask before.  We do our best to make anyone's experience here a fun and exiting.  


Volunteers?? Yes, we have them, and need more!  We have several volunteers and always need more for every aspect of the farm, from feeding and watering, to the paperwork and fund raising that goes on behind the scenes.  We do our best to place our volunteers where their skills can be best utilized here.


The farm is located in Spring Hill, Florida.  The main area is on 2.5 acres and seems to be expanding.
