Rental Farming?!

Welcome to The Rental Farmer!

Hi there! I’m thrilled you’re here. I’m Rachel, a rental-dwelling, dirt-under-my-nails gardening enthusiast passionate about proving that you don’t need a sprawling homestead, deep pockets, or a Pinterest-perfect setup to grow your own food. At The Rental Farmer, we’re all about making the most of the space you’ve got and turning it into a thriving, productive garden. Whether it’s a backyard, balcony, sunny kitchen window, or even a borrowed patch of land.

Why The Rental Farmer?

My family and I have been gardening and homesteading on rental properties for decades. Along the way, we’ve learned a thing or two (okay, maybe a lot) about growing food in unconventional spaces. From clever hacks for temporary gardens to frugal tips for thriving on a budget, this blog is here to share those lessons with you.
