Geoff Scott and his friend John started farming because they wanted to grow their own food. They started off with 32 broiler chickens, a tractor from the ‘40s, and a handshake deal with the landowner.
From these humble beginnings, they’ve added Helvetia Farm Market and Helvetia Poultry Processing to their business, along with expanding Marion Acres to raise hundreds of chickens every year, along with turkeys, pigs, and cows, all of which is housed on a new, larger plot than the small farm they started with.
That all-in-one approach is a big factor in Marion Acres’ success. In today’s interview, we’ll find out why Geoff decided to add their own market and processing plant, and how this vertical integration has helped them grow their revenue. We’ll also find out how they’ve built a team as the business evolved, and how they built their brand in the local community to get their meat and eggs such a huge following.
Of course, there’s a lot that needs to happen before you can grow your chicken farming business like Marion Acres. We’ll find out how much it cost to start their farm, what kind of equipment they use, and how to find the right size and type of land for poultry farming. He’ll also share the mistakes he made early on and what hacks he’s learned along the way.

You know I grew up on my dad's farm in Arizona and we raised a lot of different livestock and as far as chickens go what I learned is that whether eggs production or meat production was more profitable depended heavily on the scale of the operation, which product was in more demand in your area, and the cost of feed in your area. And in Arizona at least egg production was ironically more profitable when I was growing up than meat production as far as chickens go due to the sheer demand for free range eggs in Arizona at the time. But when I moved to Iowa, I learned that meat production was more profitable than egg production and you get less money for eggs here so to make money with eggs in Iowa you need a large-scale operation so definitely check the demand in your local area before deciding on which route to go that's all I have to say.

@@levi779 Hello Levi. Unfortunately we are still in the same place. The chickens however are doing great. We sold 7 to a buddy because we had a broody hen sitting on a clutch. We hatched those out. Today I have hens sitting on two more nests. My real issue is, I’m afraid to leave and fail. I know that you have to take risks in life, however it’s not just my life. I have a pretty big family. It’s nice to know that the birds will take care of you as long as you take care of them. We are looking to buy property in Eastern Washington this coming year. Once that gets done we will have to figure out what we really want out of this life. I personally can live without most of the comforts today’s society affords us. I can’t say the same for the children. To answer your question, my goals haven’t changed but it’s going to take bait more time to get things together. I appreciate your inquiry into this matter. It shows you care and there’s not a lot of that going around these days. God bless Your family and farm. There’s not a ton of that going around anymore as well.

Excellent video, great content!! I really enjoyed watching their journey. My brother blessed me with 8 day old chicks 18 months ago and I have since learned how extremely awesome chickens are!! Turns out to be one of the best "non job jobs" I've ever embarked on. I grew my flock to just barely under 100 head in a relatively short time, incubated and hand raised every single one of them. This summer I sold all of them but my original flock and a few of the ones I incubated and raised from the original flock. I now have 13 in my main flock and just hatched out another batch of 30 to grow out for next season and will incubate and hatch chicks all fall and winter. I have one customer who buys all my eggs, no matter how many I take them, currently about 6 dozen a week. Last week I added Seramas to my flock for those who prefer pets and or show quality birds. I'm afraid I'm addicted!!! I never intended on turning this into a business but it's morphing into one all on it's own. If you want to try your hand at it, don't let anything stop you, just do it, you won't regret it. I also want to add that I am doing this all on my own, a true, one woman operation. It's a lot of hard work, but when you love what you're doing, it's not so much like work but a labor of love. Everyone who buys my chickens to start or add to their flock always tell me how sweet and friendly they all are, even my roosters. Seems they really don't know they're chickens, they just think they're little feathered people. 🤣🥰

@@UpFlip In my opinion, you can do any other industry you want. This video was well edited, well shot, well focused on the task at hand…I plan to dig through more of your videos to see what else you’ve done such a great job in explaining. If you found other farming businesses like this one that maybe started from a different angle, like with pigs or goats or cows, that could be useful as well. I’m thinking of getting chickens, and this video with its long length was a little off-putting at first, but within just a few minutes I was drawn in because you didn’t waste time with nonsense, so I found it extremely helpful and have shared it with others saying as much. It was pure information, and excellent information, all from a great source. Hats off to you. If I had one complaint, and I’m stretching here, it would be that it could’ve been even longer and I’d have still watched, though I’m not sure what other questions I would have, so like I said…I’m stretching to find some minuscule piece of constructive criticism. 😁

You're obviously very skilled at asking good questions, getting good answers, and making it enjoyable to watch.

That was very interesting. It is not often I watch long videos, but I watched this to the end. The chicken chose you and you choped it's head off and ate it. All jokes aside you are four hard working business partners, and are reaping the rewards of your labour. Hard to think all you have came from one idea, and 32 chickens. I like the meal on the farm idea. Greatest piece of advertising there is, and it is just time and organising. Not big $$$ that gets thrown away. I wish you all well. If I was looking for a job I call you. But I am happily retired 5 years ago.

The stuff they have is so amazing to see I kinda wish I can just leave everything behind, magically teleport there, apply, and if hired, I would just spend the rest of my life there. I'm tired of city life, tired of trying to compete with everyone for the spot on the top. Yes, farm life is no joke and has its own challenges as well, but hey, at the end of the day, you have the choice to exit the market and just produce food for your own self and family and you'd still be relatively fine.
