Meet The Farmers

Who We Are

Luie, the eldest of five, grew up on the ranch with dirt on his boots and a little red wagon full of eggs. By age eight, his grandfather had him behind a plow, and in that crisp morning air, Luie knew he wanted to be a farmer.

After graduating from Cal Poly with a degree in Agriculture and Business, he returned home in 2011. A simple question from a vendor—“Have you ever thought about pasture-raised hens?”—changed everything. By early 2012, Happy Hens was born, with a mission to raise the healthiest, happiest hens and produce the most nutritious eggs, all while caring for creation through sustainable, low-impact practices.  

A few years later, Chloe came to the ranch with the same fire for quality and care. Luie hired her, thinking she wouldn’t stay long. She proved tougher than she looked—and after a year of building the farm side by side, Luie asked her to marry him.

Today, Chloe oversees bird health, sales, and marketing, while Luie manages operations. Together, they’ve grown not only the farm but also their family—Abigail, Amos, Wylie, Eliza, and baby Walt—their own little flock.

At Happy Hens, everything we do is rooted in faith, family, and a love for raising hens the way God intended.

We believe if you aren’t proud of what you are doing, you should not be doing it.
So you’d better believe we are putting our heart and soul into everything we do to make our hens as happy as possible, and our eggs the tastiest on the market.
