As the dollar is losing value, and to maintain Blue Star Ranch's business during this crisis, we are now slowly changing from CASH only to Barter/Trade +++ Cash - Or there is a limit of 2 chickens per family/car (or add $5 - $10 per chicken)
In some cases, we can barter/trade 100% of the chicken purchased - Call us for details!!! TRADE US YOUR UNWANTED THINGS IN STORAGE, FOR CHICKENS!!!
OR, YOU CAN "TRADE FARM WORK FOR CHICKENS!"
Depending on how you wish to pay for chickens, many of the items that you bring may require CASH + Trade (see link for details)
But, If you are trading: collectibles, coins, ammunition, silver items, or sometimes other items the trade is 1:1 (this means just BARTER no CASH required = 100% TRADE)
If you do not understand barter/trade + cash? It means that you will pay CASH for the chickens that you purchase PLUS bring any of your unwanted or, unneeded items to include with your payment and to offset rising inflation by paying with your
donation.
(ITS YOUR CHOICE TO BARTER OR NOT)
If you choose N--O--T to pay BOTH cash + barter (or freecycle) - there is a purchase LIMIT of 2 hens/pullets or chicks per family/car *** In a few cases we will take cash ONLY- If you are not adding barter items to your payment add $5 - $10 per chicken as the $$$ continues to decrease ***
SCROLL DOWN FOR THE PRICE LIST
Your payment choices are: Cash only - Or Cash +++ Freecycle/Barter
(We do not accept credit cards, cash apps, Zelle/ Venmo/ PayPal)
It's simple folks: We a small American farm are trying to keep ahead of inflation! It's time we all stop pretending that it's not happening. So to offset losses, I am asking for CASH +++ BARTER for payments or there is a LIMIT OF TWO chickens/chicks per family/car
The value of the $$$ is DECREASING VERY RAPIDLY - And many banks are starting to crash. We are now changing to barter PLUS cash! WE PREFER ITEMS OF TRADE THAT HAVE LONG-TERM V-A-L-U-E OR, ITEMS THAT ARE USEFUL DURING ECONOMIC DEPRESSIONS
Keep in mind that most hens over her lifetime will lay $700 worth of eggs!
*** Cash PLUS - Barter - Freecycle ***
We suspended all credit card & app payments because sadly, some people steal.
Some former customers have taken advantage of the credit system and have used cards fraudulently.
So this is why we can't have nice things! Like paying with your credit card.
The banking system is failing, and the dollar is crashing. The American dollar has lost almost all of its value with hyperinflation and depression ahead for everyone.
There is a current real SHORTAGE of chicks, pullets, and hens to go around!
We reserve the right to LIMIT the number of chickens purchased!
Because now prices everywhere, especially in commodities and agriculture have been increasing, Our labor, feed, hay, and bedding, as well as the costs of supplies, have increased as well as diesel for our deliveries too.
