The Coop is Coming to The Shed!
Just last week, our construction team began working diligently on the construction of The Coop, a new feature for The Machine Shed in Urbandale. Along with the apple orchard and cascading waterfall that is under development, The Coop will become a centerpiece among our newest additions to the restaurant.
Inside The Machine Shed, you’ll discover more about our chickens through our TV displays. When you step outside to The Coop, you can get up close and personal with our vibrant flock. We anticipate the chicken coop will be completed in a few short weeks, so prepare to meet our new feathered friends soon!
Our new limestone waterfall will lead to the pond, and adorning the top of it will be a great metal chicken, truly befitting not only the restaurant but also The Coop
