About
OrgaNick Pastures
Our Farms
Since 2019
OrgaNick Pastures is a network of five family-operated farms across Wisconsin, owned and operated by Nick and Holly Westby. What began with a single farm in Rio and expanded to Marcellon has grown into a multi-farm operation dedicated to producing Certified Humane, pasture-raised organic eggs.
​
In 2019, Nick purchased 25 acres in Rio, where he built the first barn to house a flock of Hy-Line layer hens, along with an on-site processing facility. In early 2020, the operation expanded to Marcellon, Wisconsin, with the addition of a second farm featuring hens that produce a variety of shell colors, including blue, green, cream, and brown.
​
Since then, OrgaNick Pastures has continued to grow, adding additional farms, expanding production, and introducing new products—all while maintaining a strong commitment to animal welfare, sustainability, and high-quality farming practices.
Our Story
Local Family Farm
Nick Westby began his career in agriculture as a farmhand when he was in high school at a farm producing organic fertilizer from chicken manure. As he was learning the ropes around the farm, he quickly started imagining where he could find his niche in the industry.
​
After graduating high school from Poynette, Nick went to the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. During college, Nick continued to work on a chicken farm -- this time in Kewaskum -- and he always fixated on finding his own niche in the chicken farming industry.
​
Nick's creativity led him to consider a few different options, but none were as attractive as setting a new standard as the first certified humane pasture-raised organic egg company in Wisconsin.
