Heritage Rewards

One of the questions we hear most often is, "Will I be able to get fresh eggs?"

The answer is... sometimes!

While fresh eggs are certainly one of the joys of keeping chickens, the Heritage Hen Collective exists to provide educational opportunities, activate a historic property, and bring our community together through shared stewardship.

Our Flock Stewards receive the first share of the eggs they help produce, and because we're unable to sell eggs, any surplus eggs become a special way to thank the broader community for supporting the Collective.

That's why we created the Heritage Rewards Program.

The Heritage Rewards program is our way of saying thank you to the members, volunteers, sponsors, donors, and community partners who help make the Heritage Hen Collective possible.

By participating in the life of the Collective, you'll earn Heritage Credits that can be used to enter weekly Heritage Egg Share Drawings whenever surplus eggs are available. And because there won't always be extra eggs to share, we'll also offer other special drawings, rewards, and exclusive opportunities throughout the year.

Whether you're an annual member, volunteering at an event, sponsoring a Featured Space, or supporting the project in other meaningful ways, we want to reward you.

Because everyone can contribute in different ways, everyone has the opportunity to share in the rewards.

How Do Heritage Credits Work?

Step 1: Support the Heritage Hen Collective

Become an Annual Member, join the Founders Club, sponsor a Featured Space, volunteer your time, make a contribution, or support the Heritage Hen Collective in another meaningful way.

Step 2: Earn Heritage Credits

As a thank-you for your support, you'll earn Heritage Credits. Different activities and contributions earn different numbers of credits, and we'll continue adding new opportunities to earn them as our community grows.

Step 3: Sit Back & Enjoy the Rewards!

We'll automatically distribute your Heritage Credits throughout the year and enter you into our weekly Heritage Rewards Drawings. Depending on what's available each week, you could win farm-fresh eggs, Heritage Hen Collective merchandise, special experiences, seasonal rewards, and other fun giveaways.

Founders Club Members automatically receive 52 credits, with entry into our weekly drawings for a full year!

Founding Heritage Credits

There's never been a better time to start earning Heritage Credits!

As a special thank-you to the people who help build the Heritage Hen Collective before the flock arrives, all Heritage Credits earned during this founding period become Founding Heritage Credits.

Unlike regular Heritage Credits earned after opening, Founding Heritage Credits are distributed throughout the entire first year after the flock arrives, giving our earliest supporters a full year of opportunities to participate in weekly Heritage Rewards Drawings.

It's our way of recognizing the people who helped make the Heritage Hen Collective possible from the very beginning.
