Why
After receiving call after call from concerned customers asking where to find healthy and reliable local farms, we knew we had to step in. We anxiously started directing customers to farms we saw as reliable. This was good short-term but something had to be done to connect the community.
Â
With the help of the team here at Hatching Time, we are proud to announce the Farm Directory - a map based community marketplace for anyone looking to buy or sell eggs, hatchlings, adults and meat. The Hatching Time customer support team will introduce new backyard bird owners to this marketplace as a safe place to buy poultry from reliable, dependable and respectable sellers.
