Our Innovative Approach: At Tikkun Homestead LLC, we believe in the power of working hand in hand with nature. Our innovative process begins with our happy and well-cared-for layer hens, who play a vital role in our ecosystem. Housed in spacious indoor/outdoor environments enriched with raw compost material, these hens scratch, peck, and turn the raw material, creating a flourishing habitat for native macro and microorganisms. By introducing locally sourced food waste and fermented seed, we foster a vibrant ecosystem that produces nutrient-rich manure and composted material of unparalleled quality.
Enhancing Quality through Vermicomposting: To further enrich the nutrient content of our soil amendments, we employ a Worm Compost (aka vermicompost) system. Our diligent worms work their magic, converting undecomposed organic matter into nutrient-dense worm castings. Meanwhile, the composted manure continues to age while we address any nutritional deficits in the soil amendments. The result? Aged, fertile soil amendments that maximize nutritional capacity, water retention, and beneficial microorganisms. Our commitment to quality ensures that our produce thrives and delivers exceptional flavor and nutrition.
From Farm to Table: At Tikkun Homestead LLC, we take pride in offering more than just premium soil amendments. Our ISA Brown hens work tirelessly to provide a steady supply of fresh, farm-raised eggs under our Holistically Grown banner. To bring our exceptional produce directly to consumers, we also sell additional crops grown on our land at the weekly Farmers Market hosted on our premises. This platform not only creates brand awareness but also allows consumers to experience firsthand the quality of our produce, grown in soil amended with our composted manure. Join us at the Farmers Market and taste the difference!
Embracing the Digital Realm: In our commitment to connecting with our community, Tikkun Homestead LLC fully embraces the power of the digital world. Through our website and various social media platforms, we invite local consumers to stay connected, witness the growth of our produce, and provide valuable feedback. But our reach extends beyond our local community. We aspire to inspire individuals worldwide to embark on their own regenerative agricultural journeys. Through captivating YouTube videos, we aim to educate, inspire, and foster an interactive space for marketing and feedback. Let’s cultivate sustainability together, digitally.
Milestones: During our inaugural year, we embark on a dynamic journey, laying the groundwork for Tikkun Homestead LLC. This transformative period involves a flurry of activities, as we establish a strong foundation for our business. We prioritize acquiring essential equipment, securing the perfect plot of land, and constructing the initial infrastructure and access points necessary for seamless operations.
In this pivotal year, we set our sights on raising 150 ISA Brown hens, a dedicated flock that will serve as the cornerstone of our operations. As we kickstart our production, these hens diligently produce eggs while also playing a vital role in our innovative composting system. They become catalysts for the creation of nutrient-rich manure and the generation of our exceptional soil amendments.
Our commitment to growth extends beyond the first year. With each passing year, we expand our flock by an additional 150 hens, creating a compounding effect on our egg production, composted manure, and soil amendment output. This exponential increase propels us forward, ensuring a sustainable and thriving future for Tikkun Homestead LLC.
