OUR ROOTS
The Backyard Farm Company was founded in 2012 by accomplished food-forward landscape designer, Christian Douglas, with the vision of creating productive and stylized landscapes that connect people to their land and to each other.
We are a team of designers and farmers who approach each project with the perfect blend of function + beauty, designing edible gardens that look as good as they taste. Every garden we service is treated with consideration of the client’s lifestyle, time, and budget. We strive to make growing your own food enjoyable and invite you to embrace your inner farmer.
"Working with The Backyard Farm Company was pure magic"
They listened deeply to our vision and guided us with gentle and knowledgeable hands. They made sure to keep us on track, on budget and informed...their enthusiasm for our vision and providing us with an oasis, not just a yard, is a gift that we will be eternally grateful for.
