Our Story

Hello, fellow backyard homesteaders – I’m Kimberly. Thanks for visiting BackyardHomesteadHQ.com!

We didn’t start as backyard homesteaders… we started out wanting a garden. Then we added in chickens. And before you knew it, we were building our suburban backyard homestead.

My husband and I come from families that enjoy gardening on varying levels. My parents had a small backyard garden in grow boxes and citrus trees. Of course, I grew up in Arizona, so the growing season is crazy.

My husband’s family gardens, too. They grow some amazing fruits and veggies that they use and store for later.

Now we live in Kaysville, Utah – where we’re raising our four kids, a dog, a cat, and chickens, and we have plans to expand our backyard homestead.

We use ads on this site to keep all of this information free and available. So the ads aren’t there to spite you, I promise. They’re there to help us be able to take on the next project – which we’ll share with you right here for free.

We’ve used and trusted all the links, products, and companies we recommend on this site. If, for any reason, you’ve got a problem with them, feel free to email us. We’ll look into it and remove the link if need be.

We hope you enjoy what we’ve put together here. Please let us know if you’ve got any questions, comments, or concerns – we’d love to know ways to improve this website and online resource.

We aren’t experts, but we’re learning, adapting, and sharing what we’re learning here at Backyard Homestead HQ. So if we’ve helped you in any way, we’d love to hear and share that!

Thanks for stopping by!

Our Team

Greg and Kimberly are a dynamic husband-and-wife duo – and the rest of our team comprises our kids, pets, and animals.

Our 4 kids are amazing – we have 3 boys, and our youngest is a girl. They are each vibrant individuals who love helping with various aspects of our backyard homestead.

• Our oldest doesn’t love mucking out the chicken coop, but he’s diligent about letting the chickens out to forage each day (even when it’s not his assigned contribution for that week).
• Our second oldest boy loves roaming the garden any time of year – especially during the summer when he can snack on raspberries and vegetables.
• Our third boy loves holding and hugging our animals – especially the chickens. He’s also an expert egg collector – and has mastered not breaking (too many) of them.
• Our daughter loves being outside with all of her brothers. She loves animals and eating fresh, backyard-grown food during the warmer months. During the colder months, she still loves being outside – and seeing our animals.
