Happy Hens is an egg farm at Ramona in Southern California where the hens live truly outdoors, going beyond the usual pasture raised standard.

The farm store sells the farm's organic eggs alongside natural and handcrafted local goods, snacks, drinks and chicken themed gifts, and you can meet the chickens at the farm stand when you call in. Online egg orders are for pickup at the Ramona store only.

County said their test tested positive for salmonella. Happy hens fully denies it even though the test say other wise. She’s laughing and smiling in her videos to get more supporters while someone was literally hospitalized because of them. Sad excuse of a business.
Awesome eggs!! The best ever!
I just wanted to drop a review in support of this company while they’re facing all this controversy surrounding the salmonella claims. We’ve been buying these eggs for MONTHS. I personally eat about 3 eggs every single day, and my family eats them too. Have we been violently sick? NOOOOO! And guess what? WE PLAN ON BUYING MORE TODAY. 🥚👏 What bothers me is seeing a small local farming business get publicly blasted before the public has been shown clear, convincing proof of exactly where the contamination originated. There are so many questions that deserve answers. What about handling and transportation? Warehouses and distributors? Storage conditions? Other products or points of contact along the supply chain? If officials have solid evidence tying the contamination directly to this farm, then SHOW THE EVIDENCE and be transparent about the testing and investigation. Small farmers shouldn't have their reputations destroyed through headlines before all the facts are clear. And shame on any news outlet that jumps straight into blasting a small business without giving people the FULL story and explaining what has actually been confirmed versus what is still being investigated. As for me, I’m standing behind Happy Hens Farm unless I’m given credible evidence that changes my mind. I WILL CONTINUE BUYING THEIR EGGS. 💪🥚 And if this farm is forced to temporarily close and later reopens, you better believe I’ll be blasting their reopening all over my social media groups to help these farmers get back on their feet. Support your local farmers. Ask questions. Demand transparency. And don't automatically assume that because a government agency or news headline says something, you've been given the entire story. I’m calling BS until I see the evidence for myself. HAPPY HENS, you still have my business! 🐔🥚💪

Bad customer service, they can't even tell you the price when you ask for it. Very rude boy was working there.
Friendly service, good quality eggs.
Cute little farm with a sweet selection of eggs and goods. The petting zoo had some very friendly goats and curious birds and livestock. Maybe don’t visit in the middle of the day in the middle of July, but there was a decent amount of shade for cooling down in, and a hand washing station.
Overall we had a great experience with them and will be back in we ever want to grow our flock. It’s a great little family business worth supporting!
Cool place! They have a play ground that has shade and picnic tables. Surrounding it are goats, pigs, a horse and cow, chickens and peacocks, turkeys and goats. The goat pin you can go inside and give them some pets. They have little fending machines like the kind you put a quarter in a twist for candy. But instead of candy, food comes out like corn or alfalfa pellets. You use those by buying tokens inside the office. Which cost 75cents a token. The little vending machines are located in front of the goat pin. Facing the front office, or east, you can go to the left and walk up the paved road to a few pins that have a donkey and a huge pig. There looked to be two pins that were empty. Sometimes they may have animals in there too. The other-side I mentioned earlier has a little trail you can walk around the property that borders the edge of it. About a 5 minute walk past the free range chickens and horse pasture. There is an admission of $10 per person. A convenience store with some food a drinks. And you can buy eggs too.
I buy all my eggs here. A lot of times I got to the drive up window. It's super convenient. Always greeted by a sweet young person. Always polite and smiling. There's a school on the premise and a petting zoo. So please be careful as you navigate.
Happy Hens is a delightful place for many reasons. Their eggs are as fresh as you can get, organic, and in sizes that will meet any kitchen's needs -- Small to Jumbo. Their quaint little store is set up with locally sourced goods from artisan breads to honey, and a variety of snacks if you choose to grab a bite to eat at the picnic tables out front. Special, if you are taking kids: a small petting zoo with educational signs and smart employee talks are available for a small charge in a nicely-maintained outdoor area. The staff working at Happy Hens are exceptionally nice, always greeting customers with warmth. And the drive up is spectacular, with fields and boulders making a picturesque drive to Ramona worth going. Yeah, I could buy eggs anywhere. I choose to go here!
Happy Hens is a charming spot perfect for introducing children to farm animals. If you're near Ramona, I recommend stopping by; they offer organic eggs in various sizes. There is an extra charge for entering the animal area, and if you want to feed the animals, they sell feed for that purpose. Outside food isn't allowed. It’s a fun experience for kids, who can see chickens, goats, horses, cows, pigs, donkeys, turkeys, geese, and sheep. They also have a small shop selling other products besides eggs. Since the store is small, I suggest leaving strollers outside if you're bringing kids or a stroller.
Nice place to visit and be sure to bring the kids. You can feed chickens, turkeys and sheep. Be sure to buy some delicious Dutch sugar cookies--you'll find them in the freezer. The price on eggs was great! The day we went, it was $5.50 for a dozen.
