sending the love

"Dear Nic and Amy,

I've just purchased some of your Ruby Hills eggs, which delighted me 
after finding them difficult to source for some time. Inside the carton I found your note. I wanted to let you know that your eggs have never been surpassed by any egg I have tried since first sampling yours in what from memory was 2008. 

They are rich, deep, golden, fresh, 
flavoursome and quite frankly, far superior to any 'free range', 
'organic' or 'friend's hens in the backyard' eggs I've tried. I grew up on a farm and we had our own hens and fresh eggs and I know what makes for a good one.

I do hope you find a way to continue producing and supplying your 
beautiful eggs.

all the best, Felicity" 

Oh, we're feeling the love, friends.  And super excited to turn the page on the next chapter for us!

Just a little excited, as we get the keys for our new property (insert fanfare here) on Monday! 

Watch this space - we'll share some pictures soon. xx A

adjusting our sails

We have exciting times ahead of us here at Ruby Hills Organics!

We are in the process of shifting to a superb slice of land at Walkerville - not too far from here.  There are big changes ahead of us - firstly we are not going to be milking cows anymore.  Whilst this will be a big change, we are looking forward to the freeing up of Nic's time to invest it more in the chooks.

The land we have found is not currently Certified Organic - so we'll be doing that as soon as we step onto the land.  It does however have favourable history - in that it hasn't had any chemical fertiliser and or weed sprays on the paddocks for at least 5 years.  The Certification process will take time, however, so there'll be a change in our egg cartons while we are in certification process.

We are busy with soil testing, selling cattle and sorting our family out for the big move.  We can only hope that our loyal customers continue their amazing support of our spectacular eggs.  

Rest assured that our eggs will remain the same through this process - they'll be eating the same soy free Certified Organic feed and have open access to paddock grasses, herbs and bugs 24 hours a day.  And as always - treated with respect and love.

Happy trails to you and yours from me and mine -- we'll keep you posted!

~Nic and Amy and the little ones
