One of the biggest hangups for my students and even members of the Intentional Backyard Farmers Facebook group is getting started. While sometimes the issue is time I often think that people are trying to do too much too quickly. For those new or thinking about starting a backyard farm or homestead the key to success lies in starting small and building out SLOWLY. I know, I know easier said than done... Choose a few projects that require minimal investment in both time and money and are easy to manage. A small vegetable garden in containers can be a great introduction to backyard farming without overwhelming you. -- My friend has this great starter course on container gardening that also has a planner to get you started. You can check it out here. Also, raising a few chickens for eggs can help you get your feet wet in the real world of caring for animals. - (Notice I said a few. That means 10 or less. Not 40+ which seems to be popular.) Starting small allows you to learn as you go, gaining valuable experience, and helps you make sure it's even the right lifestyle for you. Doing it this way not only helps minimize losses but also guilt and resentment if it's not what you thought it would be... And there is no shame in that.

I’ve worked with hundreds of students now and talked to literal thousands about starting their backyard farms or homesteads. And you know what their number one issue is when it comes to making progress on their goals? They are working from this vision they have in their mind instead of having a detailed step-by-step plan that they can take action on. Here’s the real talk: Not taking the time to plan it out is half donkey-butting your work. It seems like a good idea to just get to work and not...
I’m having a pretty good but very full week of changes and doing some big, scary, heavy work that I know God wants me to do. How’s your week going? I hope great, but if not…I’ve got a story for you. About 5-ish years ago I was trying to do too much all at once. You know the drill. I had about 5 different spaces to take care of, a garden to manage, and a house that we were still trying to make consistent improvements on. I was overworked, rushing to get every single chore done and not enjoying...
Don't fight for something that just can’t be right now. It doesn’t mean it won't happen later or in a few years. Instead of spending time looking at what you wish you had on your backyard farm or not starting anything because you can’t have the size garden you want right now.
