Native plants offer unmatched benefits for your garden and the environment. They are well-adapted to the local climate and soil, requiring less water, fertilizers, and pesticides. This means less maintenance and lower costs for you. Native plants support local wildlife, providing essential habitat and food sources for pollinators like bees and butterflies, as well as birds and beneficial insects. Incorporating native species enhances biodiversity and helps preserve our natural heritage. At Grizzard Farms & Nurseries, we provide a wide selection of native plants suited for any landscape, ensuring that your garden thrives while contributing to a healthier ecosystem. Choose native plants for a sustainable, beautiful, and resilient garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/f564da4a-69da-478d-a3d5-82e73c47c729/IMG_5164.jpeg Welcome - Premium Straw & Hay Our farm-grown Teff grass hay is a soft, fine-stemmed forage packed with nutrients and low in sugars—ideal for horses, goats, and small livestock with sensitive diets.

Charlie’s passion for farming comes from his family’s 200-year Virginia farming history. About ten years ago, he helped his parents restore an 1800s house in Cheriton and started the farm. Recently, Michelle and Charlie moved to Cheriton to be closer to family and farm life. Within three months, chickens and ducks to our list of pets. This local Cape Charles farm grows potted and cut flowers, with a focus on native varieties, as well as bales of straw and hay, using organic and eco-friendly techniques. Inside the farm stand, you will find little treasures and the chicken and duck eggs from their flock, aka Chicken and Duck “Seeds”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/1753647751172-UG2460KX6AR8H527OTFH/IMG_6769.jpeg Meet the Farmer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/1753647726379-Q8F1V0E8BUMJWZ01SU5Z/IMG_7519.jpeg Meet the Farmer https://grizzardfarms.com/youpickflowers daily 0.75 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/1c6c8109-0c5b-4ae1-a656-061d5f982a38/IMG_8490.jpeg You Pick Flowers Discover the joy of hand-picking your own fresh, vibrant flowers at Grizzard Farms & Nurseries.

From the start, they've enjoyed top-quality food and treats. Since Michelle works from home, the birds can roam freely and get lots of attention daily. We offer a variety of brown, pink, and blue chicken eggs for sale at the Grizzard Farms Farm Stand. Last year we added two more ducks to our flock and we have plenty of Duck Seeds available now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/d625d7f1-a0a7-4486-aecf-55ca06683e1d/IMG_2038.jpg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" BOP Bop is the only dude at the grizzard coop. He loves to protect Pikapi by nibbling our ankles and any loose skin possible. His favorite treat is peas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/c6c428dd-0aaa-4afb-a5c3-4a3e85b5f052/807C6ACA-FEEF-40C6-8C2A-1E5A275962D8.jpeg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" Pikapi Precious Pikapi. She doesn’t have a care in the world and purrs whenever she eats food. She used to love hanging with all her girlfriends, until Bop hit puberty and ruined everything. We had to separate them, but she does love her Bop and can still see her friends through the fence. The best part of the day is when Pikapi hears you coming and gives you a few loud excited quacks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/dc64ebd4-0efb-4967-8422-93258f0579ba/IMG_5747.jpg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" GROGU Grogu is not only our “mascot” on our label for CHICKEN SEEDS, she is Head Hen. She has chocolate brown eyes and makes sure the nests are always ready and everyone is using them properly. She loves attention and loves to supervise the humans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/d9686a75-8a94-4501-b8a8-31f75fbbdad5/IMG_3910.jpg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" ESTELLE Estelle is our favorite girl and is named after Michelle (her middle name). She is the bottom of the pecking order so she does get picked on the most but she is so sweet and gentle. It took her a while to warm up to us as a baby but now she likes to stay close. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/088f9d96-6c3c-4b36-a0b2-df679ae85bcf/IMG_2558.jpg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" DING DING She is our prettiest gray girl and was our bravest one as a baby. Now she lives in a dream-like state enjoying a life of lounging and foraging. She will randomly make high pitched noises and her bestie is Estelle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/84506937-ecee-41a1-8613-e272c1bda4a6/IMG_6766.jpeg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" DANDRA Named after my twin sister, Sandra - who had a typo on her mail one time, Dandra embodies “don’t touch me”. I think I can count on one hand the number of times she has let us touch her. She is quick and probably part hawk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/bf981e0c-4de1-425a-a267-39fcde7a4f6a/IMG_5365.jpg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" AVRIL Born with thick black eyeliner, Avril has really grown into the emo persona. She is hard to catch, always suspicious, and insecure. She is the bottom of the pecking order after Estelle and she is determined to eat her sisters feathers. We think she is pecking out her own feathers too (self harm is so emo). We are working on this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/cc692e03-fe72-400e-a566-44041a87c2fc/IMG_7670.png Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" MORTICIA Her feathered legs reminded us of Morticia Adams, and it stuck. She is an old soul and has an ease about her. She is also probably our biggest girl. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/3311581c-79af-4213-a305-b9cdd47cc38a/IMG_7675.jpg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" DAFFY This looney tune reminded me of Daffy as a baby because of her little tail that always pointed straight up. We can always count on her to sound the alarm when danger is near. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/dc842a05-c084-4c99-b80d-8fd78c32cb4d/IMG_7671.jpg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" DUCKY We needed a Ducky to our Daffy! Ducky has grown to be a bit of a jerk sometimes but we love her all the same. Besides our easter Eggers, she has the smallest comb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/8fa5053c-24f3-4168-9896-0f5b5d540e69/IMG_8417.jpg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" - Make it stand out BUBBLES & DOODOO Born in April 2024, these two have been a fun addition to the flock. They are zippy and are not scared to flex on Bop. They did not get the memo they were supposed to be his new girlfriends to give Pika a bit of a break. They all get along though and love to do duck things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/088831f0-286d-4989-8567-eb3ea6329836/IMG_7669.png Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" POE Giving us Raven vibes as a baby, Poe was named after Edgar Allen himself. She is a team player and generally gets along with everyone. Maybe she writes poetry, I don’t know. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d1112eba21b800001599623/5dc5d8d4-f047-4c69-9896-77b68aaa08df/IMG_7665.jpeg Chicken & Duck "SEEDS" JOYCE Similar to Joyce Beyers from Stranger Things, Joyce has grown into a strong confident Hen. She might be 2nd in ranks from the looks of things and has a strong egg laying song.
