Walking A Green Path

It Started With A Five-Year-Old's Ambition

In 2003 at the age of two-years-old, Troy Walsh had an adult-like desire to be a cupcake baker and shop owner but he didn't get his chance at it until he was five. 


At five, a home school project gave Troy his opportunity; a season of location at a local Farmers Market, selling his freshly baked dog treats created from his recipes. Shortly following the end of this market season, his dog treats became sought after in local and surrounding area pet supply retailers. 


Troy's Treats was his original chosen name, but as Troy's little business grew into other product lines he changed the name to Chickapea Farms; Chickapea being our family mispronunciation of an old southern slang word, his great grandma used a lot for her grandchildren, to title something endearing to the heart.


Chickapea Farms grew to provide many different green lifestyle products that could be found in over 200 retail locations. However due to a senior family member's ongoing, health care needs followed by Covid, we had to scale back our wholesale product availability. 


In 2021, feeling a bit of stability and Troy still at the helm, we adjusted and buttoned up Chickapea Farms’ foundation and started scaling up product availability again, along with rebuilding our wholesale buyer base. 


Chickapea Farms is a small homegrown Michigan business that believes in local supporting local - we buy from Michigan, we sell to Michigan. 


Chickapea Farms strives to provide a product worth its cost and provides the consumer with a conscience of being a good steward of the planet. 


We handcraft in mass production without machines or on buttons, just lots of elbow grease and strong back bones. We also practice green product life-cycle management (taking the whole product lifecycle into account) in everything we do, with a focus on the use of renewable resource materials to eliminate as much fossil fuel need as we can.


Troy and his products are recognized across Michigan not only by consumers but also by retail buyers and large expo/festival production companies. Largely known for his product's quality, Troy is also known for his genuine care, enthusiasm, tenacity, and authenticity toward his business, business relationships, and consumer satisfaction.

Eco-friendly, product life-cycle management

The steps we take to be better stewards of the planet


  1. Green product and packaging design 
  2. Resource renewable materials from MI suppliers using green processes
  3. Our own production using green processes
  4. Use of renewable materials for product packaging 
  5. Use of renewable materials for shipping requirements that can be composted or repurposed
  6. Consumer product use; non-toxic for body, home environment and planet
  7. End of product and its packaging life disposal - Compost, Repurpose, Recycle
