Fish Wagon comes about every 6 weeks April thorough October.
The first drop of the season is April 17, 10:15 -11:00 a.m. You must be present during that period of time. We do not hold fish and because Fish Wagon runs on a schedule they can not wait on late customers.
We have made the difficult decision not to sell baby chicks this year. We do not have room in our current setup and after going through last year’s fire, we simply do not want to have heat lamps and run the risk that goes with them. Also, last year tried our patience to the breaking point with the USPS lack of care and inept shipping practices. We had literally hundreds of chicks come in dead because they sat in postal distribution centers for five days.
Here is my list of local chick hatchers/growers that I recommend. Local Chick Producers.
We do sell ready-to-lay Red Sex Link pullets. Call 804-598-4021 to be put on the list for availability.
Thanks for supporting us in the past and we will are looking forward to the future.
The Hertzlers
I have posted a blog post with pictures of the fire. Watch here for more updates as I get time to post. We are working hard to get our business back up and running. The feed store is open for business selling feed, shavings, hay, straw, fertilizer, lime and grass seeds. Quarterfield Market is relaunching Saturday, May 10. Even though our beautiful facility was destroyed, the vendors have thrown their full support behind us and we will be setting up a tent city!
There is no way we can adequately thank everyone for all the wonderful meals (they were my lifesaver!), physical help with cleanup, words of encouragement and financial support. It has truly been humbling and very much appreciated. We have experienced the true outpouring of love from our family, friends, church family and community. Thank you.
Quarterfield Markets is located by Hertzler Farm and Feed, 3209 Buckingham Rd. Powhatan, Va 23139. It is a local farmers’ market featuring a collective of local producers and artisans selling homegrown, homemade and handcrafted goods like fresh produce, meats baked goods, and crafts. It offers an authentic farm experience with a variety of local products and pop-up events.
We have some landscaping to do in the front of the store yet.
Hours are:
These hens are probably the best egg layers out there, producing 250-320 eggs per year. The full-grown hens weigh around 6 lbs. They lay a golden brown large egg. Their country of origin is the United States.
For questions or orders, please call the store 804-598-4021. Do not email as it takes too much time to respond to all the requests and it is so much typing. Thanks for your understanding.
Our chicken policy:
We will NOT sell you chickens if you do not bring a safe, ventilated, carrying cage or box with holes to put them in. We will use our discretion as to what is a safe number to put in the container. Just remember, the hens must be able to stand upright, not piled in your cage/box and have proper ventilation.
This is for our and your safety and protection from environmental and humane animal handling standards.
We do sell the pet kennel style of carrying crates.
We want to thank you for your help and cooperation on this issue.
Examples of proper carrying options:
