For over 80 years and three generations Glaum Egg Ranch has been committed to humane, sustainable and environmentally sound family farming practices. The number one goal of our ranch is to provide above-standard conditions to protect the health and welfare of our chickens.
Our 28 acre ranch is nestled in the foothills of Santa Cruz County surrounded by healthy organic fields and cooled by the natural air-conditioning from ocean breezes off Monterey Bay. We are a 100% CAGE FREE family farm. Our chickens, at anytime, have the luxury of roaming free, dust bathing, perching, nesting, eating and drinking. Our chickens drink fresh water daily from our own well and are fed vegetarian and natural organic diets without animal proteins, hormones or antibiotics.
We provide the freshest eggs available to Northern California grocery stores, restaurants and bakeries — typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours after laying.
History
Established in 1921.
The Glaum Egg Ranch heritage started back in the early 1920’s by John H. Glaum, in the small town or Alexandria, Nebraska. Soon his «Model Poultry Farm» won recognition for his innovative techniques and expertise in the poultry business.
In 1946 John and his wife Pearl, along with his youngest son Marvin, moved to California to be near the rest of his children who had moved out earlier. This is where the next generation of the Glaum Egg Ranch continued in 1953 in the small town of Live Oak (Santa Cruz County), California.
In 1953 Marvin Glaum met his future wife, Dorothy, while shopping for chicken feed at the local Farmer’s Co-op, where Dorothy worked as a bookkeeper. Starting out with 1500 hens and rapidly feeling the need for expansion they added three more ranches leased nearby.
In 2004, Marvin Glaum passed away which left a huge void in the family, but a great legacy. In 2005, the Glaum Egg Ranch expanded its business into the Cage Free and Organic egg lines.
