In 2013 we decided a tree change was on the horizon so we found the perfect farm in Flowerdale Victoria and with the support of my brother (an amazing farmer) we built some pens and the farm named by my daughter was born, Sunset Valley Chicks!
Its been quite a journey with the dream at the time to do markets with our purebred chickens at a reasonable price for the back yard owner. We have changed directions several times but have kept breeding and developing our favourite breeds. Right now we continue to hatch chickens under our broody’s and have a great friend that now incubates for us as well so we can keep up with the supply and demand.
We welcome farm visits in Spring and Summer which is our busiest time with hatching and raising our chickens just for you. Though if theres something we have that you want we welcome pick ups at the farm or of course at our pop up events such as Loch Market (2nd Sunday of the month October – April), Hurstbridge Market 1st Sunday of the month, Pheasant Creek Produce store 3rd Saturday of the month and Valley Produce Wallan – 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month!
Follow us on our facebook and instagram page as well for whats coming available and please join our mailing list here so we can keep you informed of what’s available just for you!
