Our Farm
Our small-scale farm primarily raises Coturnix quail. They come in a wide variety of colors and sizes which is part of the fun! Some of them even lay beautiful blue eggs that complement the usual creamy speckled shells. We sell farm-fresh eggs, meat, live quail, and more. With a new batch of chicks on a monthly basis, there is always something exciting on the farm! Check out our product pages to see what’s available now!
Coturnix Quail
We raise quail mainly for eggs and meat, but also save feathers for crafts. The feathers make beautiful additions to jewelry and are useful for tying fishing flies. We try to make good use of everything quail have to offer, including their poop! Quail manure is very rich in nitrogen, and with proper preparation it can make incredible compost for the garden.
See some of our birds on the Gallery page.
Eggs
Small-Scale Quail has regular batches of quail eggs available.
- Delicious replacement for chicken eggs
- Naturally resistant to salmonella
- Rich and creamy with more yolk to whites than chicken

What are Coturnix Quail?
Coturnix japonica
Coturnix (“Japanese”) quail have been raised as pets since the 11th century in Japan. Over time, they became a popular breed throughout Europe and Asia for their meat and eggs.
Coturnix quail grow very quickly, reaching maturity in as few as 6 weeks! This makes them perfect small poultry for small farms and even urban homesteading.
Unlike chickens that need a lot of space, Coturnix quail are happy with about 1 sq ft of space per bird. They don’t perch or roost on things, so they fit in a compact space. You can keep 5-6 quail in the same space as you’d need for a single chicken! They are also quieter, which neighbors appreciate.
They can also be quite friendly, and several of the varieties make lovely pets.
