Location	Atchison, Kansas, United States
Introduction	Birdsong Farms is a small, 20 acre farmstead in Northeast Kansas. We purchased our farm in February of 2013 in the hopes of supplying our own table with healthy, natural and local food. Our plans have quickly morphed into a growing desire to grow our community's knowledge of their food, where it comes from and how it is treated from conception to consumption. Our passion for organic gardening and local foods fuels Birdsong Farm's goal of producing the highest quality produce and pastured meat, first-and-foremost for our family and secondly for our community. Gina began her love affair with chickens in the Spring of 2013, just two short months after the purchase of the farm with a laying flock of 35 and growing. 2014 brings many, many new plans for our beloved land including a greenhouse, berry patch, dairy goats (if Mr. Manager approves) and pastured broilers. Brandon aka Mr. Manager, while also working his "day-job," helps manage the farm in his off hours with decision making, engineering whatever Gina dreams up and....eh-hem...doing the heavy lifting.
Interests	We are city folk turned farmers! We are a small, upcoming & diversified farm in Atchison, KS interested in growing the local, sustainable food movement.
