Work with Me at the Backyard Farming Connection

Connect with a community of gardeners, homesteaders, and backyard farmers.

At Backyard Farming Connection, we share practical advice, helpful resources, and real-life inspiration for growing food, raising animals, and living more sustainably.

With more than 5,400 newsletter subscribers, nearly 10,000 Facebook followers, and an established library of gardening and homesteading content, we offer businesses the opportunity to reach an audience interested in learning new skills, discovering useful products, and making the most of their backyards.

We enjoy partnering with brands that share our passion for gardening, backyard farming, raising chickens, food preservation, DIY projects, and sustainable living.

We currently offer three ways to work together: newsletter sponsorships, sponsored guest articles, and select product reviews.

1. Newsletter Sponsorships

Introduce your business to our homesteading community.

Every Wednesday, we publish Just What You Need, our Substack newsletter featuring practical tips, seasonal inspiration, and helpful resources for backyard farmers and homesteaders.

Our newsletter reaches more than 5,400 subscribers and maintains an open rate above 20%.

We offer one featured sponsorship placement per issue, giving your business a dedicated space to introduce your products or services to our readers.

Newsletter Sponsorship Rates

Single Newsletter Sponsorship — $75
Four-Newsletter Package — $250

Each sponsorship includes a clearly labeled feature with a short description of your business and a link to your website.

2. Sponsored Guest Posts & Articles

Share your expertise with our readers.

We welcome sponsored guest contributions from brands, businesses, and industry experts with useful information to share about gardening, backyard farming, homesteading, raising animals, food preservation, and sustainable living.

Sponsored articles provide an opportunity to share practical knowledge while introducing your business to a relevant audience.

Submission Guidelines

All sponsored contributions must be original, informative, accurate, and relevant to our readers. We prioritize useful, educational articles rather than promotional or sales-focused content.

Articles should generally be 800–1,200 words and include relevant, high-quality images when appropriate. Contributors must have the rights to all submitted content and photographs.

We reserve the right to review, edit, or decline any submission. Sponsored content is clearly disclosed, and paid links use appropriate sponsored or nofollow attributes.

We accept a limited number of sponsored contributions to maintain the quality and integrity of our content.

Interested in contributing?

Email [email protected] with your business information, proposed topics, and preferred sponsorship option. Please contact us before submitting a completed article.

3. Product Reviews & Brand Partnerships

Share products that make backyard farming and homesteading easier.

We occasionally partner with brands to test and feature products that are relevant to our readers.

We’re particularly interested in products related to:

Gardening tools, seeds, and growing supplies
Chicken keeping and small livestock
Homesteading equipment and DIY projects
Food preservation and kitchen tools
Sustainable living and outdoor products

Depending on the partnership, collaborations may include website articles, newsletter features, Facebook posts, or a combination of platforms.

We accept product review opportunities on a limited basis and prioritize products that are a genuine fit for our audience. All reviews reflect our independent experience and opinions, and sponsored partnerships are clearly disclosed.

Product reviews and custom brand partnerships are priced individually.
