We are officially sold! Today our Loose Rooster Ranch will be turning over a new leaf...to a new family! It is bittersweet, as we now have a couple of weeks to move, and move the animals. The Ranch is officially closed as it was known as the Loose Rooster Ranch.
Business in Discovery Bay, will end as of Dec 31, 2021. Thank you all for the great memories. We will miss you and the Ranch!

For Immediate Release:
Brentwood, California, Contra Costa County, Tuesday, September 7, 2021 - Today, the Loose Rooster Ranch, a woman owned and operated business and a registered Organic Ranch & CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) has announced plans to permanently close, and to offer the property for sale.
Since 2015 The Loose Rooster Ranch has been a neighborhood icon & educational experience. Recognized by the baby blue barn of bees and sunflowers, and the 8 foot tall metal rooster in the front of the property. The Ranch is #56 on the map for Brentwood Harvest Time.
For over 5 years the Ranch has been the supplier of organic produce, free ranging chickens and eggs, as well as producer of local honey from the large apiary at the ranch. The Ranch has supplied the community with classes ranging from beekeeping, horse, goat, chicken care to soap making, and various other crafts. The Ranch is completely Organic, Chemical, and Pesticide free! Additionally, 100% irrigated by its own well, and fertilized by all natural fertilizer produced at the ranch. (Chicken, Horse manure, composted)
The Loose Rooster Ranch has been a go-to working ranch for many San Francisco Bay Area school field trips, and has also hosted High School foreign exchange students from Europe. The Ranch included a "Farm Stay" program which allowed over 100 guests during the past five years to experience farm & ranch life.
The owner, Katrina, has announced her intent to return to the tech industry full time, and will be marketing the ranch for sale within the next two weeks. The business will begin shutting down operations and preparing the Ranch for market. There has not been an announcement of any sale of the business assets, only the intent of listing the property on the market.
More information will be available within the next two weeks as to the plan and when the property will be on the market for sale.
For more information or interest, contact owner, Katrina Lomax by email at [email protected]

Some facts about our Ranch - WE ARE NOT A ROOSTER RESCUE - We are a private ranch & farm and provide education and produce farm products.

Please do not "drop by" as we have gone back to Tech, and work during the day and attend to the animals in the early mornings and
evening. We have limited time due to our work schedules and limited time on weekends to work the Ranch and maintain the animals.
WE ARE SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPLY THE COMMUNITY PRIVATELY and Online

Our eggs are free range, pasture raised, and from all different breeds of chickens. You see, we believe that the chickens born from generations on the ranch have been naturally selected from the strongest chickens. We process eggs every Saturday morning. We sanitize, check for defects, size/grade them according to California department of health specifications.
We do not believe that one breed of chicken is best - we like the "mutt" of chickens - those that survived year after year, strong foragers, disease tolerant, heat and cold resistant, and from hens that were allowed to have their baby chicks here.
No genetically altered chickens, no antibiotics, no large order feed store/hatchery chicks that have been vaccinated because they were bred from a chicken mill (like puppy mills) so no false advertising.
ALSO we are a registered valid business and with a registered valid egg producer and handler certified! When you visit the ranch we may ask you not to walk around, because by law we cannot have you handle our animals, or bring your animals in. They would need to be quarantined for 2 weeks prior to being introduced to our animals. Please do not bring you pets!!
Beware of those selling backyard eggs (on Social Media) and without a business license! Beware of those ranches that have slow egg production - their chickens may not have been so hardy or come from breeders in the Midwest that only care about how many they can sell to feed stores.. These chickens (chicks) are marketed so that they produce max # eggs in 2 years and then die. Customers that buy from these places keep the inhumane treatment of these "chicken mills" in business.
TASTE THE DIFFERENCE - BUY YOUR EGGS HERE - LOCALLY! WE ARE A SMALL BUSINESS, SMALL SALES
WE CARE ABOUT OUR CHICKS!
