Morning Star Farm
Morning Star Farm is a small family operation located just south of Cape Charles town on Holly Dale Drive. The farm offers subscribers fresh poultry, eggs, rabbits, and beef, all from natural pastured animals. Their delicious “farm fresh eggs from loved and pampered hens” are available seasonally at The Local in Cheriton and Windsor House in Capeville.
The chickens at Morning Star Farm live the life of Riley: fresh air, sunshine, and a cornucopia of feed and food and fresh water to give any hen envy. In return, these fine birds produce eggs with rich orange-yellow yolks that can hardly be compared to anything found in a modern supermarket.
Young Bennett Bauer proudly offers select hens for broiling during the culling season (spring through fall). Whole chickens are offered at about $4/pound. In 2017, he began selling by the part as well. Bennett does the work himself, and, as he’ll point out to you, his last name is German for “farmer”!
