About Coastal Hona

The Coastal Hona brand grew slowly and naturally over the years, sparked by Jennifer’s playful painting of a “crazy hen” - many years later, her husband brought home their very first six chickens. The word Hona—Swedish for “hen”—is a nod to her husband’s heritage and a heartfelt piece of the family woven into the brand. The original "crazy hen" can be found throughout many design elements in the apparel and site branding. 

Together, Jennifer and her husband are raising two adventurous boys who have completely fallen in love with their backyard flock. What began as a simple curiosity quickly blossomed into a full‑blown family passion, especially after they rescued a spirited rooster who now proudly watches over their feather‑footed friends. Caring for their quirky, lovable birds has become a source of daily joy, turning ordinary moments into memories filled with laughter, learning, and plenty of clucking. 

They hope you enjoy the brand merchandise and helpful chicken tips that they've gathered along the way. 

Jennifer is also the author of Feathers, Fins, and Fur, The Great Shoe Rescue, and The Golden Rule and the Orange Schmoo — a collection of children’s books available on Amazon.
