About us – The Velardi Family

Buh-dup! (Thats “Hello” in chicken language) We are the Velardi Family!  In 2019 we bought our forever “coop” in Parkland, Florida.  With two young kids, and a Labrador, our lives weren’t quite filled with enough love, excitement and chaos, so we did what any rookie parents would do – added chickens!

The conversation went something like this…

Dad –     “What do you say we get some chickens for the kids? They can sell eggs, make money and learn some responsibility”
Mother Hen – “Pass! And let me introduce you to our bird-brained Labrador that the kids ‘promised to take care of’”
Dad –     “Kids, what do you say? If we get chickens, you guys will take care of them, right”
Kids –     “YES!!!! We promise ;)”

And I think you know what happened next… Oh cluck, the Velardi Family grew by what started off as 4 chicks and then, well… chicken math!

 

Shortly after, we established P&G Farms, and became licensed to sell our backyard organic farm fresh eggs.  YUM! Committed to providing our family and neighbors with the BEST eggs, we spent our “nest egg” on the most premium organic chicken feed.  If you know, you know – that stuff is expensive! Only to find Parkland’s bougiest rats feasting away on our children’s college tuition at night.  And of course, the fun doesn’t stop there. Oh rats, our chickens had mites!

With a background in engineering and a wife” as mad as a wet hen” tired of soaking the mites off the chickens, Andrew “flew the coop” and went to work – literally because he is a machinist.  A few prototypes later and our idea for an automatic chicken feeder was in “incubation”.  We know that “you have to break eggs to make an omelet” and we didn’t want to “count our chickens before they hatched”, so we spent a lot of time field tested the FeedFort and making modifications. Once the raving reviews came in, we knew we had a “golden egg”! And with a “shake of a tail feather”, FeedFort hatched.
