Welcome to
Hickman's Family Farms...
Hickman's Family Farms has provided fresh eggs since 1944.
From of a flock of less than 500 in Grandma Hickman's back yard to our current flock of laying hens in environmentally friendly, automated houses - we've gotten bigger and better over the years.
Regardless of change and progress, we remain committed to the Hickman basic business formula: good service and excellent quality at a fair price. continued...
STATEMENT:
Remember, there are almost 300 million hens out there each producing about an egg a day. Billions of eggs are eaten around the world daily, and many people depend on them for their daily nutrition. Eggs contain the most digestible protein available in nature. I wouldn’t recommend eating raw eggs, raw pork, or drink un-pasteurized milk. In fact no one since Rocky Balboa has actually eaten a raw egg on purpose. Isn’t there even a warning on the carton and every menu in the country? You shouldn’t drink downstream from the herd, play in the street, or eat unwashed greens. Proper food preparation is everyone’s responsibility. It's a shame if eggs disappear from anyone’s diet.

On March 30, Hickman’s Family Farms donated 129 thousand fresh eggs straight from farms in Arizona.

Of all the dignitaries I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, the one that impressed my kids the most had blue fur. However, there is no truth to the rumor that Hickman's plans to partner up with Big Bird to open a new farm on Sesame Street. However, we are very proud to be a part of the Good Egg Project, and a sponsor of Sesame Street.
