Moon Haven Farm

Moon Haven Farm raises Buckeye chickens in Evans, WV in north-central West Virginia near Morgantown. The farm has been caring for heritage fowl for several years, participating in regional poultry clubs and maintaining routine health checks to keep its flock robust. Chicks are brooded in climate-controlled coops with access to outdoor runs from hatch, and adults forage across rotating pastures. The farm’s location on reclaimed farmland passed down through generations reflects a commitment to heirloom bloodlines and sustainable land management.

Daily handling and socialization help birds develop even temperaments, making them well-suited for backyard and small-scale homesteads alike. Owners often note the Buckeye’s balanced egg production and meat qualities as strengths in a dual-purpose breed. Laura Bowers focuses on genetic diversity and traceability, offering lineage records for every bird. Flourishing gardens and perennial shrubs around the coops attract beneficial insects and contribute to a balanced ecosystem.
