Our eggs join the best in the world!

If you are fortunate enough to dine at the world renowned Inn at Little Washington in the near future, you'll likely be eating food containing Mountain Laurel Montessori Farm School eggs.  The Inn has many awards and accolades, including "the best inn restaurant in the world."  Now our eggs will be part of those delicious meals!

Our chickens have been cared for with tender loving care all summer by campers, counselors, and guides at the Mountain Laurel Montessori School elementary camp - thanks everyone! (see mountainlaurelmontessori.org for more information on camps).

Our chickens get to do what chickens love to do: scratch for insects in the pastures, take dust baths, and eat surplus vegetables from our gardens. We rotate the chickens throughout the farm, providing them with fresh pasture, and providing the pastures with nutrient-rich manure.  You should see the color of those yokes! - the way eggs should be.

Students Sell Produce to the Inn at Little Washington!

Four of our brave students knocked on the kitchen door of the Inn at Little Washington today and were rewarded by the chefs buying their cherry tomatoes, purple beans, and anaheim and jalapeno peppers. The Inn at Little Washington is "the best Inn restaurant in the world." Yes, the entire world! Imagine, the cherry tomatoes that we lovingly grew from seed are now being served as part of some amazing cuisine. Congratulations to the Farm School students and Thank You to the Inn! The Inn doesn't just talk about supporting local agriculture, they source as much food locally as they can from growers large or small. Thank you to the parents, faculty, and community volunteers who have all helped to nurture the garden, and in so doing have nurtured the development of these fantastic adolescents as well.
