The fondest memory I have of my grandfather is his booming voice, hushed,
telling me if I hold my breath and carefully reach under that old hen she
wouldn't peck me. Fifty years later, in the same remodeled chicken house
gathering eggs, I know this trick doesn't work.
I am extremely proud to be a 4th generation Rickman to live on our farm
near Pomeroy, Washington. My husband Ben Roberts tells everyone not only do
we produce the best organic eggs "West of the Mississippi", we also
cultivate gratitude. We are thankful to my Great Grandparents who traveled
by covered wagon from California in 1888, chose this section of land, by an
ever-flowing small stream, and named it Rickman Gulch.
Ben and I have created a Living History Farm, where visitors are always
welcome. We are growing forward by going backward with our teams of Belgian
horses tilling the soil. Our chickens, hens & roosters are free range. This
means they not only have a warm safe hen house to reside in, but every day
the weather permits they are outside partaking in whatever Mother Nature has
in season.
The special taste in Rickman Gulch Farm Organic Eggs is wholesome,
natural goodness. The nutritional value in our eggs is high. We take utmost
care in protecting the "natural bloom" on each egg as they are gathered
several times a day. Ben grinds organic grains every week and he
carefully blends his own soy free "secret recipe". In the many steps taken
from the farm to your refrigerator, customer satisfaction is foremost in our
minds. Every dozen you purchase helps support our Living History Farm.
If Grandpa were shopping with me today, I would hear his familiar voice,
"Well, I'll be, Rickman Gulch Farm Organic Eggs, they are the best. I'll
take two dozen please".
