Meet Hafsa Saleem

From childhood, Hafsa embraced gardening, food preservation and DIY projects she learned from her grandmother. Despite growing up near New York City, she found peace in the outdoors and around animals.

In college Hafsa worked on her campus farm with 1,000+ animals including horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, ducks and chickens. Post graduation, she built a successful marketing business with her husband for a decade with thousands of representatives and customers.

A turning point came when her mom passed from cancer on Mother's Day 2018. It reinforced urgency of pursuing her passions and healthier quality of life. She and her husband moved off-grid to a cabin in Virginia and are now on a backyard farm with hundreds of animals.

Through social media Hafsa has inspired millions to explore self-sustainability. She has authored an e-book and course "Eggcited for Chickens" and social media business courses. Hafsa has now combined her entrepreneurial background and homestead passion to bring you the Homestead Summit virtual event!
