Backyard farming is the practice of utilizing any kind of space you have in order to grow and produce your own food. Whether you have a large or small yard, or even a balcony, you are able to have a backyard farm.


A vegetable garden (also known as a vegetable patch or vegetable plot) is a garden that exists to grow vegetables and other plants useful for human consumption, in contrast to a flower garden that exists for aesthetic purposes.

If weather permits, you should also consider stone fruits like most types of peaches, plums, and apricots. Berries, apples, and pears are also a favorite among backyard farmers.

The noun farm originally meant "a lease on farm land," and it comes from the Medieval Latin firma, "fixed payment.
