Welcome to the Rusty Pumpkin Poultry Farm
~
Our history and philosophy –
Located on a quaint 2 acre mini-farm in east
central Indiana, Rusty Pumpkin Poultry Farm
was started by Rusty and Gayla McCord along
with their four children – Ariel, Trey, Coty
and Denton, primarily as a means of raising
quality birds that would be shown in our
local 4-H chapter.
After realizing the lack of breeders within
our own local market, for a select variety
of breeds, we decided as a family, to expand
our efforts to help provide local children
with quality birds at reasonable prices as
well as the option of purchasing in smaller
quantities.
Though our primary focus is directed toward
children in 4-H, we’ve realized the high
demand for quality poultry within the adult
arena. Showing poultry is a project that
many families are participating in over
recent years – not only does it provide
families with projects they can do together,
but it’s a project that can be done
affordably and with minimal space
requirements.
Both Rusty and Gayla participated in 4-H as
children and know firsthand what benefits
this national program is providing. Teaching
children responsibility in a world that’s
filled with modern conveniences is a
challenge all its own – they strongly
encourage families everywhere to find a
project to do together as a family, whether
it’s poultry or not.
Rusty Pumpkin Poultry Farm started operation
in September 2006 – so as a rather new
operation with a great desire to succeed, we
hope you take the journey with us as we
share our efforts, photos and lessons
learned – along the way.
