Anne Hinman

Meet Anne! A California native turned Wyoming local, Anne blends a love for the land with a deep curiosity for all things chicken keeping. What started as a backyard flock of a few hens has grown into a lively coop of chickens and ducks, plus a garden that keeps her busy most weekends. With a background in marketing and a passion for the homesteading lifestyle, she’s always learning something new—and loves sharing tips, lessons, and laughs from her own backyard to help others feel more confident on their chicken-keeping journey.
