UPDATE Tuesday May 19, 2020
WE ARE SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPLY
EGGS TO URBAN EDGE FARM STORE. This is a local farm store located on
Walnut Blvd in Brentwood. Honey season is starting in June. I will post when it is available.
WE ARE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

You can make an appt by emailing - looseroosterranch@gmail.com. We are selling
roosters only for food birds and breeding. We do
not process any chickens for meat here, all leave the Ranch alive.
WE ARE NOT A RESCUE AND DO NOT TAKE ANY ANIMALS IN
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL FARMS AND BUSINESSES.
Stay well ~ Kate (Katrina) Owner
SEE A SWARM? It looks like a mass of bees clumped together. They can be hanging in a tree, or on a fence, or a car!!
We collect the swarm, rehome it at the ranch, and then hope that the prosper here!
Our first priority is honey bee and pollinator preservation. Our second priority is to educate the public on honeybees, and beekeeping. Of course the third is to enjoy HONEY! We will share it with you if they produce!
Call 925-308-7126 Please allow us to get back to you - Since the Ranch will not run without income coming in - we actually work day jobs and still have to report to work, even now, so we usually will collect swarms after working hours (after 6pm M-F)

OUR EGGS ARE REGISTERED ORGANIC -
OUR CHICKENS LAY FRESH DOZENS EVERY DAY
Now available at the URBAN EDGE FARM STORE
Our eggs are free range, pasture raised, and from all different breeds of chickens. You see, we believe that the chickens born from generations on the ranch have been naturally selected from the strongest chickens.
We do not believe that one breed of chicken is best - we like the "mutt" of chickens - those that survived year after year, strong foragers, disease tolerant, heat and cold resistant, and from hens that were allowed to have their baby chicks here.
No genetically altered chickens, no antibiotics, no large order feed store/hatchery chicks that have been vaccinated because they were bred from a chicken mill (like puppy mills) so no false advertising.
ALSO we are a registered valid business and with a registered valid egg producer and handler certified! Beware of those selling backyard eggs (on Social Media) and without a business license! Beware of those ranches that have slow egg production - their chickens may not have been so hardy or come from breeders in the Midwest that only care about how many they can sell to feed stores.. These chickens (chicks) are marketed so that they produce max # eggs in 2 years and then die. Customers that buy from these places keep the inhumane treatment of these "chicken mills" in business.
TASTE THE DIFFERENCE - BUY YOUR EGGS HERE - LOCALLY! WE ARE A SMALL BUSINESS, SMALL SALES
WE CARE ABOUT OUR CHICKS!
The Loose Rooster Ranch takes credit card payments through Square, Paypal (looseroosterranch@gmail.com) and I also take Venmo! Order 24-48 hours in advance, pay for your order and then pick up when convenient for you!

PLANTING SEASON:
Spring & Mid-Summer planting
Flowers, veggies and pumpkins
late harvest squashes
All year we plant: Flowers for the bees and edible for us; lavender, rosemary, sage, savia, sunflowers, catnip and for us as well, oregano, basil, nasturtium.
The cool thing is that you get to meet us, your beekeepers in person AND we can point to the hives and show you exactly where the honey came from. It's not a "blend" of hives - each bottle is from one of the hives we have in the front of the ranch!
The Apiary (hives) that we own are strictly for honey production and local pollination - not commercial and they stay on the property year round. We have names for each hive: The Honey Hen, Angry Rooster, and Disco Bay Gold. We also have sponsored hives that have their sponsors names, which they bottle for themselves.
Today we have about 60 commercial hives in the back acres of the property. These are owned by another beekeeper that provides pollination to the local farmers. We help store these hives in the winter, and then they go to pollinate almonds, cherry and fruit orchards around the area in the Spring.
