Kyra (Kyky) Worm, Founder of The Wholistic Homesteader
My work explores how agriculture, homesteading, and outdoor experiences support
trauma recovery and community resilience.
My goal is to help develop evidence-based teaching models for agriculture-based mental health programs, particularly those supporting veterans, grief recovery, and trauma-informed communities.
I collaborate with farms, nonprofits, and outdoor organizations to build programs that reconnect
people with land, food systems, and community as pathways toward healing.

Education & Guides
Nature-Based Mental Health Support
Where traditional therapy misses the mark; I've found community-based experiences provide the most efficient pathways to healing.

Preservative-Free Recipes
If you're crunchy like I am, then it's likely you also hate the amount of dyes, chemicals, and carcinogens that are hidden in our grocery store food.
From fermenting & preserving the food, flowers, and herbs that I grow- I've been taught by those living off the land and I'm here to show you how to do it too.
Homestead & Garden Design Content
I document my own journeys navigating micro urban homesteading; from mushroom-growing, to garden design, to personalized crop plans.
My guides, illustrated how-tos, and aesthetic DIYs provide everything you need to know to plan, build, market, and scale your dream micro homesteads & gardens.
