Welcome to theBackyard: a suburban agriscape!

Our suburban agriscape is a holistic, integrative farm & garden system that examines optimal living standards designed to promote sustainagility, self-reliance, community, and elegance. Our one-acre property serves as the first Residential Research Facility for Blue Sky Agriscaping to create an elegant and edible foodscape.

Holistic & Integrative Systems

We believe integration of many inputs & outputs (from raising animals to agriculture, to how we remove and give back to the land) must exist at the base of all systems we use. The ability to see the intimate connections of all the pieces and how they form a complex whole is invaluable. Through those steps we can promote sustainagility, self-reliance, and community.

SustainAGILITY

Sustainability implies a stasis. If what you are doing is sustainable, that implies that you will be doing that thing over and over again. Sustainagility implies that you are looking at what you are doing and improving it. Continual improvements is sustainagility.

Community

Humans were not created to be solo creatures, we we're created to exist with others. But I believe mere existence 'in proximity' of others is the minimum to life. In order to excel in life I believe we are to live in community together. Challenge each other, push each other, teach each other and support each other in living and growing.

Self-Reliance

Self-reliance is a spectrum of having full dependence on one end and full independence on the other end. Our goal is to begin repositioning ourselves towards the end where we create our own independence. There is no greater personal and communal freedom then the feeling of independence through self-reliance strategies & actions.
