OUR STORY

Once upon a time, a little girl fell in love with her pet chickens at her home in the country. In fact, she was obsessed with them. Often dreaming alone in her family's wildflower meadow, Alessandra soon turned her feathered friends into her daily playmates. 

 

She dressed her chickens in doll clothes. She served them tea at imaginative parties under her apple tree. She celebrated their birthdays and occasionally officiated at their wedding ceremonies.

 

Chickens, chickens, CHICKENS!  That's all Ale talked about to anyone who would lend her half an ear. 

 

Before long, she convinced Aunt Sandy to buy her an incubator so she could have more chickens. Ale then counted her life savings and bought fertile eggs to hatch under her watchful eye.

 

Eight years later, her mother Suzanne, a photographer, was finally swept up in her daughter's persistent passion for poultry. Together they have launched Black Witch Farm. Their business is selling fertile hatching eggs of a variety of rare and critically endangered chicken breeds.
