About Backyard Buzz

Backyard Buzz Hobby Farm is nestled on a few acres in beautiful Northwest Arkansas. We raise mealworms as healthy treats for your pets and run several beehives. 

We started out raising mealworms as snacks for our pet chickens, and it became addictive and fun. After learning of all the benefits and how versatile mealworms are, it didn’t take long to get hooked on mealworm farming.  Everything about them is useful, from the nutrients in live mealworms down to how our gardens and houseplants thrive off the frass as a fertilizer. Mealworms are used as bait for fisherman and snacks for poultry, reptiles, sugar gliders, hedgehogs and even humans! It is a strangely relaxing hobby.

Currently we have 4 active beehives and plan on expanding each year. Honey harvests are in early summer and fall so check back on the website for updates.  We plan to sell all byproducts of beekeeping, including wax, propolis, pollen and even honey as long as it is available.

We also dabble in both traditional and unique gardening.  By unique, we are growing all kinds of different crazy fun gourds this year along with Russian Comfrey, Roselle Hibiscus (tea) and anything else out of the ordinary. You may even see a few of the byproducts show up in our shop from time to time, so stay tuned!

Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about us.  And never hesitate to reach out, we would love to hear from you!!
