Welcome Everyone!

~Brittany and Penny from Happy Days Farm~

For all our new friends, I thought I would bring this post back to the front so you can get to know a little bit about us, and how we got started! The video clip from Fox 8 News is at the bottom!
Thanks so much for visiting us!

 In 2012, Penny and Brittany introduced ‘Happy Days Farm.’ They both love their animals and Penny expanded her home to include a chicken coop in the backyard which houses their much-loved chickens – all hand raised from babies.

A couple of years ago, they traced the source of migraine headaches that Penny has to sodium nitrite, nitrate, and MSG which is located in many foods that we eat. This led them to begin a semi-organic eating style. They learned to avoid eating out in restaurants which use these ingredients, and also started shopping in Whole Foods for meats and cheeses. This led them to find a local farmer to purchase eggs and vegetables from, and eventually they decided a chicken coop was for them!

Brittany started the blog while they were building the coop, and then added a Facebook page to highlight daily life on the ‘farm,’ and now there is an Instagram and Twitter to follow!  The rest is history. In addition to the coop, they have a security team, also known as free-range guinea fowl, as well as three precious bunnies, and an ever expanding herb garden. Together, Penny and Brittany have a combined thirty-eight years experience raising and using herbs. Brittany is also certified Herbalist through the New England Herbal Academy.

Since starting Happy-Days-Farm, this love of herbs has turned into an opportunity to learn how to apply natural and herbal prevention and treatments to our animals. They both cater to their love for animals, gardening, and cooking when they are not at work, they actually both work full-time, but realized that even though it is a lot of extra work, animals, especially chickens, are a great stress-reliever and a source of much joy.
