Philip Nolt - Sauder's Eggs

More About Philip Nolt CODE 706

The farm of Philip Nolt is located in Manheim, Pennsylvania.

These chickens are considered free-range, meaning that the hens have access to the outdoors and feed on a pasture. While chickens must have access to the outdoors to be considered free-range, they don’t necessarily have access around-the-clock or every day, but when they are outdoors, it must be for at least six hours per day and must have 2 square feet per bird. Certain factors make it necessary for farmers to limit the access that free-range chickens have to the outdoors, such as freezing temperatures or wintry elements or the presence of predators or migrating birds that may have diseases.

The eggs these chickens lay are Organic, meaning the hens eat only pesticide-free 100% organic feeds from the day of their birth; neither the hens nor their feed can be subjected to antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, or herbicides. If access to pasture is not feasible, flocks must be fed sprouted grains, fresh plants, or hay on a daily basis.
