Where will you live, should you move to a smaller house, will you have enough money, where should you invest it, should you stay with your children, should you go to an old age home, is this country safe..?

These are the worries of the hensioners. It’s no fun to be a burden to your family when you grow old, but LONLINESS and boredom are serious problems faced by the elderly. Hens can help!

Henpower in the UK, encourages older people to get involved in hen keeping as a way of:

• reducing isolation
• increasing health and wellbeing.
• Preventing lonelines
• Providing seniors with socialization
• Encouraging seniors to be creative by designing coops and purchasing and showing rare hen breeds.
• Creates inter-generational exchanges by visiting school children.
• Helping to lift the spirits of other seniors by visiting care homes with their hens.
• Encouraging activity and maintaining fitness levels.
If you have 7 minutes to spare have a look at this cute video of The Hen Men

Perhaps I can start something like this here in George? I always enjoy a good HEN PARTY *Giggle*

🐓 I am privileged to look after my 90-year-old mother right here on the farm. I make sure there is a constant flow of people and animals in her cottage.

🥚I have often caught her feeding bread to a hen with new babies. The smile on her beautiful, crinkly face says it all 🥚

We have SLIGHTLY “OLDER” BIRDS 🤣 in stock that are nice and BIG. Order a BIG chicken here!

Hello Everyone!

Often, sausages are associated with, SCRAPS, floor-sweepings, leftovers and much, much worse! I grew up loving Vienna’s (as we all did!) I now know how those things are made. Eish, scary.

So the sausage, through the ages, got a deservedly bad rap. You can hide a lot of yukkie stuff in sausage and make it taste AWESOME.

Because “this little sausage”, ME, loves sausages, Red Barn now makes sausages from the best and most expensive part of the chicken, the BREAST fillet ONLY.

My next all-time, standby, favorite is, of course, our Chicken Burgers. Also made with Breast Fillets.

You have put your trust in us and we are so grateful. Burgers and Sausages on special this week.

Hello Everyone!

What a great idea, *giggle*

We can get all “Christmassy” with homemade egg candles while we endure yet more load-shedding.

It is SO unfortunate that load-shedding has returned as the tourists arrive in our beautiful country.  At the moment we are experiencing Stage 4 which means our power is off 3 times per day for 2.5 hours.

As you can imagine, it is really difficult on a farm without electricity. Baby chickens under lights, processing machinery etc. Even our water system needs power!

Luckily, I invested in a BIG generator last year! The 50KW Cummins diesel engine starts automatically and hums along merrily when needed. What a blessing, HER name is “Sparky”

It’s a huge extra expense, but we have to use it, or you won’t be eating our spectacular products this Xmas and New Year.

So let’s enjoy the warmth and atmosphere of our candles, hunker down in the darkness and pray that the power system is soon restored.

In the meantime, we have some great specials this week.

We can always braai by candlelight. nê?
