EXPLORE OUR GARDENS
“The Backyard Farm Co. took all of the guesswork and stress out of having a home garden.”
They helped design, plant, and tend to the garden of our dreams -- teaching us along the way so that we’re not only enjoying all the beautiful food but also learning about how to take care of it and harvest it year-round.
