InterGenerate’s new Heritage Egg Co-op

INTERGENERATE HERITAGE EGG CO-OP

Join InterGenerate’s new Heritage Egg Co-op at John Jay Homestead: learn the basics of backyard farming,
enjoy lots of fresh eggs and support breed diversity.

John Jay Homestead, Katonah, NY  REGISTRATION FILLING FAST!
Baby chicks at the Egg Co-op

How It works
Join the Egg Co-op. With the help of experienced farmers, you’ll
raise the chickens and share the harvest. Bond with the chicks. You'll have a chance to care for the chicks from infancy through adulthood. Expect your
TLC to pay off with lots of fresh eggs by the summer.

Learn basic chicken raising practices.

All members must attend the workshop “Chicken Keeping
Basics” and take part in the weekly care and egg harvests.
Support breed diversity.


Record your findings and teach
others about alternatives to the mass produced eggs you get in the
supermarket.

Registration is limited to 25 Egg Co-op members!

To register, visit Intergenerate's website: www.intergenerateny.org
