About us

Our story

Utangard Farm is owned and operated by us, Patrick and Morgan Ellis. We have both owned poultry (and many other critters!) throughout our lives, and are passionate advocates for sustainable living. With deep roots in New England and a shared love of farming, we set out to create a boutique-style hatchery that prioritizes quality over quantity and focuses on breeds that support a more resilient and self-sufficient lifestyle.

Why Utangard?

An old Norse word meaning beyond the enclosure, "Utangard" represents the chaotic, the untamed — the wild. It is balanced by Innangard, or order within the walls. With all the comings and goings of our little farm and family, there tends to be more Utangard than Innangard.
