INTERNATIONAL FARM



It's official -- The Dahlia Farm has gone international!

Sort of...

When the largest egg farm in the Cape Verde Islands couldn't get standard-sized birds (tradititional chickens off the coast of Africa are bantams), they turned to their friends and relatives in the U.S. to personally transport fertilized large eggs home in the hope of breeding their own.

Success!

The Cape Verde Islands are now developing a flock of large birds, thanks to The Dahlia Farm!

So if ever you're travelling there and you should stumble upon Rhode Island Reds or Plymouth Rocks -- our southern New England traditional breeds -- you can rest assured, they are from your very own CSA farm, right here in Middleboro!
