Crafted primarily from young roosters for a rich, full-bodied flavor, our chicken bone broth is slow-simmered to perfection. Slightly gelatinous when chilled—a sign of nutrient-dense goodness—it’s seasoned only with a touch of salt and a dash of organic vinegar (you won’t taste it; it simply helps extract the minerals and collagen).

Our birds enjoy full-time pasture access and a non-GMO diet, resulting in a clean, wholesome broth you can feel good about. Perfect as a warm, nourishing drink, a soup base, or for adding depth to your favorite recipes.

Why We Love Sunshine Mesa Farm:

**Where the Chicken Comes First**
At Sunshine Mesa Farm, located in the picturesque North Fork Valley near Paonia, CO, the well-being of their chickens takes center stage ([Sunshine Mesa Farm][1]).

**Happy, Pasture-Raised Birds**
Their colorful flock—comprising around 400 laying hens (peaking at about 1,000 in summer)—roams pasture 365 days a year, even during snowstorms ([Sunshine Mesa Farm][2]). The hens are raised with extensive handling from day one, resulting in calm, friendly birds that express natural behaviors like scratching, dust-bathing, and foraging ([Sunshine Mesa Farm][1]).

**Local, Non-GMO Feed**
Chickens are nourished on a locally sourced, custom-formulated, 100 % non-GMO feed, supplemented with fermented alfalfa in winter for extra nutrition ([Sunshine Mesa Farm][2]).

**A Mission Beyond Farming**
Founded in 2017 by Michelle and David Livingston, Sunshine Mesa Farm grew from a backyard coop in Aurora to a thriving North Fork Valley operation with around 100 layers and 1,000 pullets raised annually ([Sunshine Mesa Farm][1]). Their mission extends beyond eggs: they aim to model humane, sustainable food production, educate others, and rebuild middle-class agriculture ([Sunshine Mesa Farm][1]).

**Farm Stay Opportunity**
For those interested, a cozy one-bedroom guest cottage is available on-site for overnight visits—perfect for getting up close with the land, the birds, and the beauty of the valley. Reserve through Airbnb ([Sunshine Mesa Farm][3]).

**Local Egg Availability**
Sunshine Mesa Farm’s eggs can be purchased at Indigo Autumn in Paonia, although they do not offer direct sales or shipping outside their licensed region at this time ([Sunshine Mesa Farm][2]).

Sunshine Mesa Farm is a hands-on, pasture-based, family-run farm where ethical treatment of chickens, regenerative practices, and community education are at the heart of everything they do. Let me know if you’d like help connecting with them or highlighting their products.
