What's Inside the Yardstead Project Bundle
Why This Bundle Exists
Five years ago, I began my own yardsteading journey — turning a simple backyard into one that could truly feed my family.
Yardsteading is about living the homesteading dream but scaling it to fit your space and lifestyle. You don’t need acres of land to live more sustainably; you just need the right guidance, tools, and support.
That’s why I built The Yardstead Society — a place to learn new skills, build projects that fit your backyard, and grow the confidence to live more self-sufficiently.
When you join, you’ll unlock more than just this bundle. You’ll gain access to live Q&A sessions with me, step-by-step project planning tools, helpful guides and recipes, and a community of like-minded people all building thriving, sustainable backyards — their own yardsteads.

What is Yardsteading?
Yardsteading is about creating security, abundance, and connection right in your backyard.
Yardsteading is for the modern family. It’s learning to grow, preserve, and enjoy real food — and discovering that your backyard is enough to feed your family and build a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
What is the Yardstead Society?
The Yardstead Society is a private membership community for anyone ready to transform their backyard, and their life, through beautiful, purposeful builds that bring abundance and food right to your family’s table.
Inside, you’ll find a collection of project planning tools, live Q&A sessions with Carolynne, step-by-step guides tailored to your yardstead lifestyle, and a supportive, active community. Together, we troubleshoot challenges, celebrate wins, and encourage each other on the path to self-sufficiency and meaningful backyard living.
Do I need experience to build?
Not necessarily! Many of our guides are beginner-friendly, with detailed, step-by-step instructions and real images to guide you. If a project requires more advanced skills, we note that in the description so you can choose the right build for your skill level.
Can I customize a design?
Yes! Many of our customers adjust the dimensions or materials to suit their space and needs. Our guides provide a strong foundation, but you’re free to modify as needed. Just be sure to consider structural integrity when making adjustments.
Where can I buy materials
Most materials can be found at local hardware stores, lumber yards, or farm supply stores.Our guides list all necessary materials so you can source them before you start building.
How long does a project take?
It depends on the project! Each guide includes an estimated build time based on two people working together. Smaller projects may take a day or two, while larger builds (like greenhouses) may take a weekend or more.
Are the guides digital or printed?
Our guides are digital downloads, so you can access them instantly after purchase. You can print them at home or use them on your phone, tablet, or computer while building.
Do you offer refunds or returns?
Because these are digital products, all sales are final. However, if you have any issues with your download, reach out to us—we’re happy to help!
