Chefs for Kids BreakfastThe Chefs for Kids breakfast on July 8 at Rex Bell Elementary School in Las Vegas featured great food, and great fun. Funky was a star, and signed autographs. Not one person accused Funky of "chicken scratch" handwriting, either. By the end of the morning, almost 700 students had started their day with Hickman's eggs. |

Hickman's Family Farms Donates to Food BanksThings started off on a hip-hop-ity note at St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance thanks to Hickman Family's Farms and their very generous egg donation!! Good friends Corey McClosky from local FOX 10 affiliate, Hickman's Funky Chicken and even the Easter Bunny came out to celebrate the United Egg Producers (UEP) partnership with Feeding America, the nation's food bank network, to help ensure those in need have something to eat for the Easter Holiday. In Arizona the local UEP member Hickman's Family Farms, will allocate over 290,000 eggs to five different food banks including St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance. This marks the second year in a row United Egg Producers and Feeding America are teaming up to help ensure food banks throughout America are well stocked with nutrient-dense eggs. The nationwide partnership will help the 36 million people (12% of the population) who are at risk of hunger in the United States, including more than seven million families (9.8%) and more than 13 million children (18%) under the age of 18. The eggcredible donation is not only just in time of the Easter holiday but also crucial as food banks are struggling to keep up with the public's increased demand with the struggling economy.

On Saturday February 21st, Bill and Gertie Hickman were inducted into the Arizona Farming and Ranching Hall of Fame. Surrounded by their family and many friends, they accepted their plaque presented by the person who so proudly nominated them, Jim Manos. As Jim put it, how could there be an Arizona Farmers Hall of Fame without the Hickman's. Their name has been synonymous with egg production in Arizona for the last 65 years. They have seen their company grow from a tiny back porch operation to the current, high tech, multi-ranch operation it is today. And they did so without ever losing the family element. Despite having over 200 employees, they are very much still a "Family Farm". Bill and Gertie so richly deserve this honor for all they have done for the employees, customers and the communities they serve. Congratulations! |
