NEW YORK, N.Y – Handsome Brook Farm, one of the leading producers of Organic Pasture Raised eggs in the United States, today announced they have recently acquired a feed mill, Handsome Brook Mill, in Cortland, New York and it is in full operation.
“Ensuring the nutrition of our hens is essential to their health and animal welfare, not to mention their productivity," states founder and Co-CEO, Bryan Babcock. "Our hens are pasture raised, meaning they have daily access to acres of lush pasture, but they do depend upon supplemental feed to ensure balanced nutrition. We have come to realize that it is a real benefit to produce our own poultry feed to the specific dietary requirements of our hens. That way we can be sure that their health is optimized, and that no corners are cut."
Handsome Brook Mill will operate as a dedicated organic feed mill, and provide feed to the Handsome Brook Farm Pasture Raised flocks. In addition to providing superior quality grain, the ownership of the mill will ensure stable and optimal costs for both farms and grocery retail partners.
Handsome Brook Farm is committed to providing customers throughout the United States with eggs that reflect the highest standards of quality, fair trade practices, and commitment to animal welfare.

About Handsome Brook Farm
Bryan and Betsy Babcock founded Handsome Brook Farm in 2005, where they raised hens, kept sheep and cattle, and ran a Farmstay Bed & Breakfast. Their Bed and Breakfast guests were the first to notice the fresh and rich taste of their pasture raised eggs. By identifying key differences between ‘Pasture Raised,’ and ‘Organic,’ ‘Cage Free,’ as well as ‘Free Roaming’ eggs, the Babcocks learned that Pasture Raised eggs were unique in that they are the only eggs from chickens free to forage outdoors. Handsome Brook Farm is now one of the leading producers of Organic Pasture Raised eggs in the United States. Partnering with family farms throughout the East Coast and South, Handsome Brook Farm is the fastest growing privately held egg company in the United States, the 14th fastest growing food company in the United States and honored to be #391 on the 2015 Inc. 500 List.
