WHAT IS THE PECK & PICK?
The Peck & Pick is a Hobby Farmstand, running on the honor system! We are NOT full-time farmers, but our love of growing and homesteading has grown!
Our goal is to reach a monetary threshold that will allow for us to apply for agricultural designation. This designation will allow us to apply for grants and programs to grow and produce more on our land. For now, our production frustratingly coming in waves of feast and famine!
We dream of our farm and the Peck & Pick Farmstand being our full-time bread and butter, but in this harsh economy, we’re still working our full-time gigs! We hope to embrace the honesty of strangers and the generosity of our friends and neighbors with this Farmstand! Some offerings will have a set price, but others will be “take what you need; pay what you can”.
Thank you for sharing our hobby and dreams with us!

Just for Fun...OUR FAVORITE HENS
Remember the early days of social media where you were forced to savagely choose your top 8 friends? With over 30 hens, we've decided to feature our top favorite hens! Why? Because chickens can't read so we're not worried about them finding out!
ROSEMARY (AKA ROSIE)
BANTAM HEN BORN JULY 2024
SHE CAN FLY! Can a chicken fly? YES! Rosie is a little powerhouse that flies around the yard and resembles a pigeon (but much nicer). She's the BEST! She's a one of a kind and we love her! 12/10 stars because everyone loves an underdog.
CARAMEL (RIP)
PRAIRIE BLUEBELL EGGER - BORN APRIL 2024
Charming and kind demeanor Sings sweetly like a songbird. Got rejected from her flock because she stubbed her toe. Almost pecked to death twice. Tame and lives in cage on the porch as our family pet until we can re-integrate her! The friendliest and my personal favorite of all the hens; ever.
12/10 stars because everyone loves an underdog.
UPDATE - Caramel was mobbed by the flock. RIP lil Mella. :(
URSULA
BLACK JERSEY GIANT - BORN JULY 2023
Helped raise a flock of 10.
Loses points for abusing Pumpkin's smallest chick.
Cool name but steals voices.
She's the least favorite of the favorites.
9/10 stars
TOFFEE
ISA BROWN - BORN MARCH 2021
Model-like looks Bug terminator Not afraid of loud noises Comes over if you say "Bok Bok" Update: May 2024 - Sadly, she passed away, but she's still a favorite!
11/10 stars
KAREN
BARRED ROCK - BORN MARCH 2021
Squawked all the way home from Tractor Supply Prefers Pop Music over Country She's a heckin' chonker; hawks can't carry her away Prefers her OG friends and not new ones We now lovingly refer to all Barred Rocks as "Karens"
10/10 stars because everyone loves a Karen!
PUMPKIN
FRIZZLE & SILKIE MIX - BORN JULY 2021
If old mother Hubbard was a hen, it'd be her. Raised 3 flocks; 5, 36 and 10. Only the first flock included some of her eggs. Survived a predator attack and lived until morning; twice. Nicknamed "Skeleton Princess," "Grandma," and "Old Mother Hubbard" Makes gremlin noises when you pet her. Small but mighty
10/10 stars
CHLOE
ISA BROWN - BORN JULY 2023
The 2nd friendliest of all the hens. The reason we will always raise Isa Browns! Greatest Egg Layer! Loves to sing and talk.
10/10 stars
