OUR WHY

Backyard Jem was born after many years of Shannon's personal growth and wanting to improve the health and wellbeing of her family, the environment and helping to solve the health issues present in our society today.

​

“I just became more aware and mindful with my actions, thoughts and decisions. I started with small changes, removed or made them stick and kept adding to fit in with life.”  - Shannon Wright

​

We are not afraid to push boundaries, question the status quo, create, innovate and never settle in our pursuit to create a better future.  

We believe in treating everyone and nature with care, kindness, love and this shines through in every veggie we grow and every connection made. 

We believe that your personal growth and healing is a journey you take through giving, changing health and mindset and discovering your inner joy. 

We believe in creating a better future by seeing similarities over differences, respecting nature more and making connections through our veggies, earth and community.
