Offered for the first time in generations, this exceptional 7.39-acre poultry farm presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Delaware agricultural history. Recognized as a Delaware Century Farm, this family-owned poultry operation has been carefully maintained and operated under contract with Perdue since its original construction in 1998. Throughout the years, the farm has earned numerous top producer and performance awards, reflecting its long-standing reputation for excellence in poultry production. The farm consists of three poultry houses, each measuring 40' x 500'. Following a fire in 2010, House #2 was completely rebuilt in 2011. The property features Chore-Time feed bins, a six-bin composter, and a 40' x 100' manure shed with an attached 16' x 100' lean-to. Supporting infrastructure includes a 12' x 24' generator/pump house with a concrete slab floor, wood-frame construction, and metal walls and roof, housing an 80-kilowatt generator that serves all three poultry houses. The equipment located in the second room of the pump house serves Houses #1 and #2, while House #3 is served by its own dedicated pump room. This poultry-only property is being offered without a dwelling and backs to additional family farmland, preserving the agricultural character and setting of this unique offering. The property currently maintains an active Perdue contract; however, there is no flock presently in place, and sellers do not intend to place additional birds prior to settlement, allowing prospective purchasers flexibility in scheduling inspections and due diligence. The farm is being sold as-is, although, to the sellers' knowledge, all systems are currently in working order. Whether expanding an existing poultry operation or investing in a proven agricultural asset with a distinguished production history, this Century Farm offers a rare opportunity to continue a longstanding tradition of excellence in Delaware agriculture.
