Hello and Welcome to Sampat Farms!

Growing up, we spent all our time in the middle of concrete buildings and cacophony of large cities. Then in late 2009 we moved to South San Jose. We were fortunate to have a backyard and get a feel of the open sky and fresh air – in the heart of Silicon Valley. In May 2013, after almost a year of contemplation, we decided to get chickens – not one – but sixteen of them!

The day-old baby chicks arrived in a small box and were delivered at our local post office. The chicks spent their first 8 weeks in our garage while we worked weekends building our “Four Season Chicken Coop”. Our dear friends were kind enough to donate their time and skills. After much effort, we had our chicken coop built. You can check out the video of the “Building of the Chicken Coop” on our website.

Fast forward five months and the chickens are now laying eggs. The egg shells have different shades of brown, white and pastel green. The shell is hard and the yolk is dense yellow – unlike the eggs sold at stores. Yes, of course, these fresh farm eggs taste delicious!
