Walking A Green Path

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

In 2006, at the age of five-years-old, young entrepreneur Troy Walsh was to start a home-school project at his local Farmer's Market. But, Troy had other idea's for this home-school project.

 

He intended to start a full-time business from it. From that day forward he has stayed true to his focus and today it is called Chickapea Farms.

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

We strive to eliminate plastic and fossil fuel materials from our products and their packaging, and take the extra steps so our products and packaging can be compostable, and if not, repurposable. 

Handmade

Locally Sourced

Green Packaging

In making our products, there is no out-sourcing or mass-production machinery; just hands on, strong backbones and a lot of elbow grease to create durable, high quality, green products and packaging. 

Locally Sourced

Locally Sourced

We believe in local supporting local. We buy local. We sell local. If not harvested from our own land, then we scrutinize sources in the sequence of: our home area within Michigan, the rest of Michigan, the Midwest.

Even though Troy calls on his friends, family and mentors for help, he's always at the helm of Chickapea Farms, leading with love in his heart and quality on his mind!  Thank you for walking a green path with us.

Troy's New Journey In 2022

Mi Farm Network

After meeting so many farmers during his journey with Chickapea Farms, and helping admin the FB group "Shop Michigan Farms", Troy wanted to do more to help link farmers with their communities. That's how "Mi Farm Network" started. We strive to bring Michigan farms together with their communities for the greater good, education and ability for farm-direct product purchases. 


Please tell those you know about Mi Farm Network and help plant seeds of growth within your community.
