1. What is Backyard Farming?
WITH THE SCARE OF ECONOMIC instability and increased knowledge about the dangers of pesticides, additives, and processed foods, a new movement is sweeping the country. People are changing the way they live and searching for strategies to enjoy a more sustainable, healthy, and natural existence. They are looking to the lifestyles of past generations and seeking ways to live simpler lives themselves.
One of the best, easiest, and most effective ways families have been able to do this is to prepare mini farms in their own backyards—backyard farms,
if you will. These micro farms provide sustenance and incredible cost savings even in times of plenty. They protect families against potentially devastating effects of a job loss or financial disaster. Furthermore, they offer homegrown food that is healthier and less expensive than anything those families could buy at their local supermarket.
This country, after all, was founded on an agrarian lifestyle. Farmers, for hundreds of years, have been the driving force behind our entire system. Agriculture has allowed countless families to create a livelihood while, at the same time, allowing them to be self-sufficient and less dependent on commercial food producers.
The backyard farming movement is a celebration of a back-to-the-land
lifestyle. It is an empowering way to reconnect with the food with which you nourish your body. It is an intriguing and gratifying pursuit that is not only fun but also productive. It connects families and communities and creates an incredible link between the human, animal, and plant realms. It provides a common interest and a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. And best of all, it’s much easier than it sounds! Your
