We're a family-owned and operated poultry farm. We use our birds to build better soil on the land we farm, and we share nutrient-dense eggs, crops and value-added products with our community.
Farm fresh eggs from our flock, who free range as much as possible.
We hatch and sell Silkie chicks here on the farm, and keep working to improve the quality of our birds.
What we grow changes with the season.
Nothing is ready right now. Ask us what's coming up.
Small batches made here on the farm.
Ask us what's on hand.
Pickup at our farm in Canfield, near the fairgrounds. Cash or Venmo at pickup. Nothing is paid online.
Pecking Pastures is focused on egg production and on hatching chicks for sale, for folks who want to give their families farm fresh eggs instead of commercial ones.
Silkie chickens are our passion project, because, well, they're just so darn cute. We raise Silkies to hatch and sell chicks, and we keep working to improve the quality of the birds along the way.
Pecking Pastures started in 2019, when Tricia decided she wanted chickens. As a gardener, it seemed like the next logical step toward being self-sustaining. Back then we lived on a tiny property in the city, and getting approval for even a few hens was a challenge.
After two years of keeping chickens, the next logical step was buying a farmhouse that needed a huge renovation, so we'd have room for all of them. Anyone who starts with a few chickens quickly learns that, like Pokémon, you gotta catch 'em all.
We bought the farm in 2022 and the renovation keeps rolling. Our 50+ chickens are living their best lives: they're spoiled with treats and free range as much as possible, but they'd rather just hang out and poop on the porch.
In 2019 Tricia started researching and learning about chickens to get ready for our first flock. We fell in love with chickens, and in 2022 we bought our farm and began expanding the flock.
Tricia has loved nature and animals for a long time. She studied art as an undergrad and earned a master's in urban planning, and along the way completed the Master Gardener program, the Sherwick Tree Steward program in Cleveland, and the Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist program through OSU Extension. Since buying the farm she's taken Central State Extension's Beginning Farmer program (2023) and OSU's On-Farm Financial Management course (2025).
