A little about us...

We have started a journey and are inviting you to join alongside us. A journey to provide ourselves, our neighbors and community with a better option for eggs and eventually other pastured proteins.

Did you know pasture raised eggs are BETTER for you?

Our Raised Right pastured hens are able to forage on rotational acreage, providing a variety of grasses and the opportunity to scavenge for insects. This allows them to consume healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and secondary compounds to include antioxidants that benefit both chickens and humans alike!

The rotational foraging process that we use is a regenerative agriculture system. The goal is to improve ecosystem health, farm production, and food system resiliency, by linking soil and livestock management. Our hens and pastures both benefit each other in the following exchange: the hens enrich the soil by controlling insects and weeds without pesticides or chemical fertilizers and by aiding in nutrient replenishment within the pasture, and the pastures benefit the hens by providing a diverse food source and sustainable habitat. 

Not only do we have happy pastures, we have happy hens and this leads to a better nutrient content for us humans. Eggs from pasture raised hens are found to have a healthier fatty acid and nutrient profile (lower Omega-6, significantly higher vitamin A, Vitamin E and Carotenoid content, etc.).

Raised Right to be good for our flock, our field, and our friends — that's you!!

The Story of Our Logo

The first part of our logo to explain is the Oak Tree. We have a Mighty Oak on the property that is a central part of our farm. We all fell in love with this tree and can't help but admire its grandeur and appreciate it just being here - and what it has withstood over the years. There is a poem about an Oak Tree and its strength that we copied here for reference. We believe people can get this type of resiliency by being RAISED RIGHT. 

As we RAISE our laying hens with Fresh Air, Bugs, No Chemicals, out on Fresh Pasture - we believe that they are being RAISED RIGHT and we are establishing a resiliency to conventional egg production - in even just a small way.

The font. We chose this as an homage to our military background. Jeff served in the 82nd Airborne Division right after high school and we have two of our four children currently in the Air Force. The stencil font is similar to a type that is used to mark military vehicles and equipment. 

The star in the H of the word RIGHT. This is a tribute to patriotism and to the United States Flag. We love this Country and the Freedoms it provides and we wanted to honor that. 

The Four Pasture Rows. We have Four wonderful children and this represents our kiddos.

The 20 and 22. We began this awesome journey is 2022.

The Cardinal in the Tree. Our last name is Cardinal... that's it.

"The Oak Tree" by Johnny Ray Ryder Jr

A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark
But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around
The weary wind gave up and spoke.
How can you still be standing Oak?
The oak tree said, I know that you
Can break each branch of mine in two
Carry every leaf away
Shake my limbs, and make me sway
But I have roots stretched in the earth
Growing stronger since my birth
You'll never touch them, for you see
They are the deepest part of me
Until today, I wasn't sure
Of just how much I could endure
But now I've found, with thanks to you
I'm stronger than I ever knew

Meet the Team

We are a small veteran-owned family farm made up of… US! Jeff served in the US Army and has been in law enforcement since he got out. In addition, we have four wonderful children – two of which are currently serving in the US Air Force.
