As a lifelong nature enthusiast and someone who considers herself a “hippie at heart”, Seacoast native Autumn Richards Waani is passionate about the environment and living a sustainable lifestyle. What started as a longtime passion for Autumn, recently transformed itself into a life’s mission with the launch of her new business, Backyard Fern!

So what IS Backyard Fern?? Not only is it one of the Seacoast’s newest businesses, Backyard Fern is an online sustainable goods boutique that carries eco-friendly products made in New England! At this online destination, we are now able to shop for hand-selected items, such as sustainable kitchen essentials, locally-made bath and body products, unique gifts, and more—all from the comfort of our own homes! Autumn set out to create a haven for conscious shoppers like herself, and Backyard Fern was born! Let’s learn some fun facts about this new Seacoast business below!

*Backyard Fern offers exclusively plastic free, non-toxic, and vegan friendly products, eco-friendly packaging, carbon neutral shipping, and local product sourcing!

*All of Backyard Fern’s products are handmade or hand printed in the USA—within all six states of New England to be exact!

*All orders from Backyard Fern are sent using only eco-friendly packaging and carbon neutral shipping. 

*Not only can we shop local brands, we can also meet the makers here!

*Backyard Fern is committed to giving back to the earth and local communities! Two percent of profits are donated to environmental charities and 2% of profits are donated to local New England charities.

Here’s to changing the way the nation shops and the standard of home goods. Here’s to changing the world!
