"We've developed a chicken tractor," Walnut Farmer James Chinchiolo explained. "We've placed it in our walnut orchard to create a cycling. We're able to utilize some of the material on the ground for the chickens to forage through."
Inside, they roam free, eat all the weeds and extra plants every single day to help maintain the rows of walnut trees, and then when nothing but dirt remains, the all-electric cage is moved to the next plot.
The chickens get fed, what they leave behind brings essential nutrients to the soil, and then they produce a farm-fresh product.
Then, those eggs can be delivered directly to customers.
So not only do the farmers get extra help in the orchard, they get a delicious product too.
Chinchiolo Farms is planning on expanding "Blooms Orchard Laid Eggs" to reach more customers.
In the meantime, they'll keep delivering fresh eggs every Wednesday right to people's front doorsteps.
