I named Bushel and A Peck Homestead after my mom — because she was the kind of person who made love feel abundant. The phrase “a bushel and a peck” always reminded me of warmth, comfort, and loving someone endlessly, and that was her. Even through her battle with small cell lung cancer, she carried strength, grace, and love that filled every room she walked into.

This business is more than eggs, a homestead, or a name. It’s a piece of her living on. A reminder of the way she loved her family, cared for others, and found beauty in simple things. Every single thing I build with Bushel and A Peck Homestead is rooted in her memory and the life lessons she left behind.

I have very vivid memories of my mom telling me “I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.” The week she was put on hospice and the night before she passed, I wanted to make sure she knew that I loved her a bushel and a peck and I would say it every time I spoke to her.

She may not be here physically, but her love still grows here every day.

Mom, Happy Mothers Day in Heaven. I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.

-Your Sweet Pea 💚

Hey!

I know this is unconventional to speak about on a page like this… however, I’m unconventional and I will never pass up a moment to spread awareness about mental health. Enjoy the read and buy some eggs 💚
-Mary (founder and owner of Bushel and A Peck Homestead)

It never fails that anytime I talk about my mental health, someone goes behind my back and talks how I’m being an attention seeker. It used to bother me about what others would say in regards to me talking about what I go through but now, I’m medicated and don’t care 😂

In all seriousness, I’m being treated for major depressive and anxiety disorder, OCD (unfortunately not the cleaning type but the obsessive thoughts), PTSD, and PMDD. The time I didn’t talk about what was going on in my noggin was the worst time of my life and ended in me taking a (almost court ordered) grippy sock vacation about 5 years ago. When I recently got my medications changed and increased, I cried to my doctor and said that I’m just broken. She said “honey, we are all a little broken.” Isn’t she right! Point of my blabber is, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Maybe one day, I’ll have the courage to talk about what goes on in my head but for right now, just know that I’m broken too.

With the launch of our new page, we will be selling chicken eggs for $2/ dozen from now and through the weekend.

As a small scale operation we try to keep up with the current prices for our area and adjust accordingly based on many factors but never look to price gouge.

Our chicken eggs are currently $3/ dozen any other time after this weekend. We understand there are many others that sell eggs as well but stop by and give ours a try. Just follow the signs once you come up to our road, buying our eggs are self-serve honor system.

Let's talk chicken eggs! 🥚🐓

Here’s why we’ll choose farm-fresh over store-bought every time:

• Richer flavor you can actually taste
• Deep golden yolks from a natural, varied diet
• Collected fresh—not weeks old
• Higher in nutrients like omega-3s & vitamins
• No harsh washing or chemicals—natural bloom stays intact
• Raised with care—you know exactly how the chickens are treated
• No surprises about where your food comes from

Once you’ve had farm-fresh eggs… it’s hard to go back 💛
