Are you ready to trade in the hustle and bustle of modern life for a simpler and more meaningful one?

Here at Baghdad to Barnyard, we are passionate about sharing the joys of homesteading - wildly loving animals, growing healthy food, and
living simply.

Come join us on this exciting journey into the heart of homesteading!


DISCOVER A SIMPLER, MORE MEANINGFUL LIFE

Hello friends. We’re Jen and David – two combat veterans who have embraced the modern homesteading lifestyle.

Our approach to homesteading may be unconventional compared to some; we don’t raise animals for meat or dairy, nor do we live off-grid.

Instead, we've created something special here: a place filled with passion and commitment to connecting with nature and caring for our animals.

So explore our world - and find something that speaks to your heart and brings out the inner homesteader in you!

Welcome to our homestead- your home away from home

At Baghdad to Barnyard, we understand the healing power of homesteading and are here to help you explore it.

From growing food, caring for animals, and making something beautiful out of something less-than-ideal, there's so much enjoyment to be found in this lifestyle.

As someone who has encountered the difficulties of trauma and addiction recovery firsthand, I'm here to share my story and help guide you on your journey.

We will show you how to cultivate a sustainable balance in body, mind, and spirit that can bring much-needed healing. So take the first steps and join us on your homesteading journey today!
