We specialize in fertile rare pure breed heritage chickens, gourmet coloured eating eggs and fruits and vegies of yesteryear. Victorian Vintage Earth Farm opened in 2012 and specialises in fertile eggs and live bird sales of rare heritage breeds of poultry that are reminiscent of the late 1800`s to mid 1900`s here in Australia. This includes some very rare breeds and colors of poultry some of whi
ch were believed to be extinct here in Australia such as the Creme Legbars and Scots Grey poultry. Owner Peter Towers has been involved in breeding and showing poultry for many years since a child and now with 40 + years experience has decided to make his dream of breeding pure bred poultry commercially into a reality, selling up and relocating back onto a farm to start his new venture. Peter also sells eating eggs and is passionate about making people aware of different colored chicken eggs for eating purposes and the different qualities of eating eggs from different pure bred poultry, duck, quail and goose eggs and the differences in their uses in cooking. After several set backs including 2 fires on the property, opposition from not so nice neighbours, a relentless and backward thinking council we are now awaiting a VCAT outcome before expanding further with more young birds being hatched and grown on for selling. All i can say is it is a sad day for Australia when a person can buy a farm and is not allowed to have farm animals or gardens to grow food for themselves and farm the land in the way that they want to. Also trying to establish an orchard and vegetable gardens under the same principals as the poultry along with native bush tucker plants and fruits organically. Now after 4 years of hard work and set backs Victorian Vintage Earth Farm now breeds up to 30 types and colors of varying poultry along with Toulouse Geese and some ducks
Gardens are now being established for organic vegetable, herbs, native bush tucker plants and an orchard of old world fruits such as figs, Locquats, Pommie Granites, Mulberries and such like soon to commence with plantings.
