Charles and Stephanie Ramey
H & R Farms has fresh eggs almost year round. They get emu eggs in the fall and winter starting in October with some of their emus laying into April and May. The rheas start laying in the spring around March or April and will lay until August or September. Their emus usually lay 40+ eggs each, with one female named Queen B that lays into the 60's. They also have another emu named Jane that occasionally lays the rare double yolk emu egg. Their rheas lay 40+ eggs each. Lawrence and Melba turned the day to day business operation over to Charles and Stephanie in 1998, but still remain active on the bird farm by helping whenever an extra hand is needed. In 1998, Stephanie started looking for a way to market and sell their extra emu and rhea egg shells and also sell emu oil products. She got the idea of painting the eggs herself when she saw a book about painting rocks. Stephanie has since attended many craft shows to market her decorated eggs and emu oil products. She has also turned to the internet to sell her blown egg shells, painted eggs and farm direct emu oil products. Charles and Stephanie Ramey joined the American Emu Association and the Tennessee Emu Association in 1992. They have both been active members in the Tennessee Emu Association by both serving as board members at various times. Charles has served on the national board as president. The emu oil that H & R Farms sells is creamy and all natural, has the American Oil Chemists Society certification as recognized by the American Emu Association. Their blown emu and rhea egg shells are some of the cleanest you can possibly buy. They offer 1st and 2nd quality egg shells to choose from.

H
& R Farms was formed in 1991 when Lawrence and Melba Harden and their daughter
and son-in-law, Stephanie and Charles Ramey, bought their first trio of rheas.
Farming is not foreign to this family. Their family comes from a long line
of row crop farmers, growing fruits and vegetables, cows, hogs, chickens, to the
present day of 1000 acres of cotton, 300 acres of soybeans, 5 breeder pair of
emus and 9 rheas.
