Phoenix Egg Farm

Welcome to Phoenix’s Egg Farm, we are located in Portland, Oregon. We now offer farm fresh free-range chicken eggs! We have both pastured certified organic eggs and pastured non-organic eggs.

We believe that our hens should not be in cages and should have access to fresh air, bugs, and greens. With this lifestyle the hens are healthy and living a more humane and much happier life. With your support we can offer healthier foods and change how animals are raised and treated.

Our customers can be assured that these eggs come from a holistic farming operation, from us raising the chickens to gathering the eggs, to processing, and to packaging the eggs right here on our small farm; a place that we also call home. These happy hens along with a few roosters accompanying them are ranged on 1.75+ acres, part of a peaceful and serene 16.5 acre forest property grazing various bugs and greens. In addition, they are fed a 100% vegetarian feed free of antibiotics and hormones. We do not believe in de-beaking our hens.

Thank you for thinking about where and how your foods are made, how your animals are treated and supporting the original concept of where healthy foods should come from, just a few minutes away.

We hope you join us in this revived way of thinking and living. Thank you for all of your support!

Yours Truly,

Souriya, Sophin, and Phoenix
