Almost 15 years ago, Ashley Barker’s father tilled a patch of her yard, sparking her passion for farming. Eventually, Ashley left her accounting job to work the land full-time, creating PEAS Farm. Today, she and her husband Steven, along with their four children, run the farm and have become a staple at the Westchase District Farmers Market.

PEAS farm offers a variety of fresh produce, including green and red kale, different types of spinach, and unique lettuce variations. Their biggest hits are pickling cucumbers, yellow squash, and juicy tomatoes. Beyond produce, they sell honey, eggs, pickles, salsa, goat cheese, and lip balm. Customers frequently praise PEAS Farm for its freshness, with one regular saying, “I come here every week. PEAS Farm has some of the freshest produce in all of Houston.”

Ashley loves the close-knit community at the market, where she’s built strong relationships with customers — 80% of whom are regulars. She often sets aside items for them to ensure they get their favorites. Stop by the Westchase District Farmers Market to pick up the latest harvested goods from PEAS Farm.
