If you’ve spent a Saturday morning at The Barn, you’ve likely seen the bustle around the egg crates. Lynn Hawkins has turned a passion for poultry into a cornerstone of the local swap meet. Raising chickens in the high desert requires a specific blend of shade management and hydration, but the result is a product that far surpasses store-bought alternatives in both nutrition and flavor.

Lynn’s presence at the swap meet highlights the “Micro-Ag” economy that defines Newberry Springs. It’s a place where neighbors trade tips on predator-proofing and heat-hardy breeds while picking up their weekly supply of fresh eggs. This Saturday tradition at The Barn isn’t just about food—it’s about the resilient, self-sustaining spirit of our community.
