We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on March 18, 2012.

A big thanks, and a progress report

Update #4 · Apr 22, 2012 · comment

Hello, everybody!

It's been just about a month since you helped us reach our funding goal.  We'd like to start out by extending our sincere thanks to all of you!  

With the money you helped us raise, we got busy right away at incubating eggs and ordering live chicks.  Since our Kickstarter pledge period closed, we've hatched a few batches of chicks from eggs collected at our urban farm, and we've picked up a several dozen more from the Post Office!

We've gotten plans squared away for the construction of our poultry houses, and we hope to have them finished in the next several days.

With the weather as good as it's been, we're slightly behind schedule with getting our rewards out to our backers because we've been so busy planting in the fields.  We appreciate your patience, and we'll be finishing up our rewards in the coming weeks (crafting lip balm, taking photos, designing cards, updating our website, and getting shirts screen printed).

Until then, and as always, THANK YOU.  Your support of what we do have made this such a meaningful experience for the both of us at YellowTree Farm.
