Hello! I’m Jill Taylor, the seasoned homesteader and guiding force behind Happy Farmyard. With over two decades of hands-on experience in animal care, coupled with a BSc in Environmental Studies, I am deeply committed to sharing authoritative and practical insights to fellow homesteading enthusiasts.
Raised on a farm, my childhood was immersed in the rhythm of nature and the nuances of animal care. This profound connection compelled me to further my education with a BSc in Environmental Studies. The degree not only enriched my understanding of ecosystems but also deepened my expertise in holistic animal and plant care within sustainable environments.
After college, I transitioned from our family farm to establish my own homestead, where I’ve mastered the care of diverse livestock ranging from chickens, goats, and sheep to pigs and ducks. My journey also involves nurturing organic gardens, preserving food, and mastering age-old homesteading skills.
Happy Farmyard was founded as an embodiment of my passion and dedication. This platform offers in-depth advice, evidence-backed tips, and time-tested practices on all facets of homesteading — from optimal animal nutrition and health to organic gardening and beyond.
Your journey to mastering homesteading is backed by my 20+ years of experience. I’m always here to assist, answer queries, and guide you in building a thriving homestead. So, if you’re ready to embark on this transformative journey, I’m eager to support every step you take.
Here’s to empowered and informed homesteading!
