Farmers Hen House began in 1997 with Amish farmer, Eldon T. Miller’s dream that producing organic eggs could be a way to keep small local family farms competitive in a modern economy. The business began with just 3 farms, but soon began to grow beyond the expectations and capacity of Eldon’s Amish lifestyle.
