Backyard Livestock
Backyard farming is considered to be a movement in which average folks who live in urban environments turn a portion of their backyard into a food-producing garden, complete with fruits, vegetables, chickens, and anything else that will fit!
Backyard farming is for anyone with a backyard! It doesn’t matter how big your backyard is, if you have one, you’ve got space for a backyard farm!
Whether it’s keeping a few chickens, growing some tomatoes in buckets, or putting in raised beds, a backyard farm is perfect for city dwellers as well as rural folks.
The size of the backyard doesn’t matter much! Even if you have a small backyard, you can still have a backyard farm. One of our mantras is make good use of the space you have!
Backyard farming provides tons of benefits for you, your health, your environment, and your local economy. A garden can be started any time of the year. There’s even gardening work that can be done in the winter most places!
Backyard farming also improves the biodiversity of your community and helping native species thrive, improving the environment, and relieve challenges created by urban and rural food deserts.
Setting up a backyard farm can even be profitable if you have extra! Keeping a few more chickens than you need and selling their eggs, or growing high yield crops like tomatoes and zucchini, you’ll have plenty to sell to friends and neighbors. If you’re the extra charitable, your friends, family, and neighbors will love your fresh, backyard farm produce as a gift!
