Gettim Homestead

NPIP # 74-4622

We’re an urban homestead and small family operated hatchery in the VERY rural Texas Panhandle.
We ship both chicks and hatching eggs so long as the hens and weather permit.

Our Farm

Being self sufficient is more important than ever with the state of everything happening around the world, and we are trying to become more reliant on ourselves. You never know when things will go sideways, and the last few years have shown how fast things can change.

It seems as if the powers that be are trying to make it harder for us to support ourselves. The postal service is the way most of us ship our eggs and chicks, however they’ve recently imposed an additional $15 fee on “perishable” items.

This includes hatching eggs, chicks and grown chickens, as well as plants. (If you haven’t noticed, that’s pretty much every way we would supply ourselves with fresh homegrown food.)

This beginner farm is not big, or well known, or even good at what we are trying to do, but we are experimenting with different ideas, and learning new things every day.

It’s our goal to be able take care of ourselves, and hopefully have a successful enough crop to supply our friends, family and neighbors, with fresh eggs, homegrown chickens and local produce as well.

Farm Fresh Essentials

So long as the hens cooperate, we have consumption eggs available pretty much year round. Hatching eggs on the other hand will be posted when available.

As our young growouts get older, we will have them available for purchase for an affordable price. During the Summer months, we will be able to offer fresh produce as it becomes available as well.
