The Zimmerman Family
Ashley and Andrew Zimmerman have been growing chickens for George's on their farm, Augusta Poultry since 2018. Ashley is the farm's full-time manager and operator, while Andrew helps with management, as well as equipment maintenance and repair. Their children Jaden, Tristyn, Chase, and Heather help too, especially with new flock preparations.
The Zimmermans bolster environmental stewardship by maintaining a nutrient management plan, planting trees and maintaining a retention pond.
The health of their birds is paramount, requiring frequent monitoring of house temperature to ensure the bird's ultimate level of comfort, constant provision of sufficient air, quality water and feed, and maintaining dry floors.
The Zimmermans say it's rewarding to start the birds as just-hatched chicks and help them to grow and thrive to be six-to-seven-pound birds. Ashley said, "we also love the learning environment and responsibility options that it provides for our kids"!
HATS OFF TO THE ZIMMERMANS!
