Starshire Ranch

Starshire Ranch, chickens, Ellensburg, WA, located in Kittitas County and the Cascade Mountains near Yakima. June Aploks has been raising chickens for several seasons on the family-run Robbins Rd property and follows established husbandry guidelines from the Washington State University extension program. The birds live in spacious, sunlit, comfortable, well-ventilated coops with daily access to pasture and are handled gently to support calm behavior.

The ranch maintains a small-scale closed-flock approach and a mix of hardy breeds suited to the Pacific Northwest climate. Regular health checks and clean bedding routines are recorded in farm logs to ensure attentive care for each bird. Pasture rotation and natural pest control support sustainable husbandry and soil health. Participation in regional fairs and workshops reflects a commitment to community agriculture. Egg quality and steady availability have earned positive feedback from neighbors and local markets.
