The Old Homestead Farm

About this farm

The Old Homestead Farm in Washington, Missouri (40 miles west of St. Louis, Missouri) is a small, family-owned farm where the chickens are allowed to roam the pasture, the woods, the creeks, etc. from sun up till sun down eating all the grass, weeds, bugs, and grains available to them. You will see the difference in our eggs in the nearly orange egg yolk and a richer more flavorful taste. Studies continue to confirm the health benefits of eating ANY grassfed animal/products (including chicken eggs). You can view a more recent study on the Mother Earth News website. We also have available a wonderfully, handcrafted goat milk/olive oil soap bar. All our soaps are made with 50% olive oil which is very healing and nourishing to skin along with goat's milk (from one of our resident nubians, Cindy) which is moisturizing and gentle to skin. By combining these ingredients, along with coconut oil, palm oil, and shea butter, we have an extremely gentle and nourishing soap bar. No colorants or artificial preservatives are used. The soaps have a warm, carmel color due to the olive oil and goat milk. If you are near the St. Louis area, you can purchase our eggs at the Sappington Farmers Market on Watson Road, Freddies Market on Big Bend in Webster Groves, and Local Harvest Grocery on Morgan Ford Road near Tower Grove park. You can also purchase our soaps at the Local Harvest Store. You can contact us directly at the farm at (314) 920-0004. Thanks for looking.
