Building Stronger Communities Together.

The Backyard Homestead Marketplace is a community-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting local artisans, entrepreneurs, veterans, and first responders through education, opportunity, and collaboration.

Our marketplace exists to help small businesses grow by providing affordable vendor space, educational resources, community events, and opportunities to connect with customers who believe in shopping local and supporting their neighbors. Every vendor, volunteer, donor, and visitor plays a part in strengthening the communities we call home.

Unlike a traditional online store, this page serves as an informational resource about our mission, programs, and community initiatives. Here you'll find information about becoming a marketplace vendor, supporting our nonprofit, attending educational workshops, participating in community events, and learning how your involvement helps us make a lasting impact.

As our organization continues to grow, this page will also become home to additional educational resources, community programs, and tools designed to help families, entrepreneurs, and local organizations succeed together.

We believe that thriving communities are built when neighbors invest in one another, small businesses are given the opportunity to grow, and those who have served our country and communities are never forgotten.

Together, we're building more than a marketplace—we're building a stronger community.
