Our story
Donnet's Backyard Farm is a true family affair, built from the ground up by three people who each bring something essential to everything we grow and everything we do.
Founder & Head Grower
Donnet grew up with her hands in the soil, learning the art of growing from her father, a farmer who taught her that tending the land is an act of love. That love never left her.
After a lifetime of growing plants for the joy of it, six years ago she turned that passion into something she could share with the world. Donnet's Backyard Farm was born from her belief that plants are not just living things, they are carriers of vitality, healing, and spirit. Every plant on this farm has passed through her care, and that care shows.
Operations & Plant Care
Nick has been by Donnet's side from the very beginning, the steady hands that keep the farm running day to day. From the care and maintenance of the plants to the logistics that make every order and every show possible, Nick works quietly and consistently behind the scenes to make sure everything is always at its best.
If the farm has a heartbeat, Nick helps keep it steady.
Marketing & Web
Akeel brings the farm to the world. With a background in web design and marketing, she's the one behind the web presence, making sure that what Donnet grows and what Nick tends reaches the people who need it most.
From the website to social media to strategy, Akeel's work means the story of this farm doesn't stay in the backyard , it travels.
"To grow a plant is to invite more life, more vitality, and more joy into your world."
