History of The Event

"Peep at the Coops" began as a quirky idea among East Dallas neighbors, sparked by the urban chicken coop craze. What started as a neighborhood tour to support local nonprofits has grown into a beloved annual event, attracting thousands with its blend of feathery fun and community spirit. Initially hatched by Edible magazine to celebrate sustainable urban living, hosted first at Stonewall Elementary, then Mockingbird Elementary, then Moss Haven Elementary and is now run by Moss Haven Farm's non-profit, attracting thousands with its unique charm and community spirit. After a brief pause in 2020 and 2021, we've fluffed our feathers and are back and better than ever, continuing our mission to promote urban gardening and local food sourcing in DFW.

Here's to clucking our way through another decade of "Peep at the Coops"!
