backyard farming
Residential food cultivation
Backyard farming is growing food or raising animals on residential property, typically for household consumption rather than commercial sale.
The practice ranges from vegetable gardens and fruit trees to keeping chickens or bees: We started backyard farming during the pandemic.
It connects to broader movements around self-sufficiency, local food, and sustainable living.
