About
our company

Locally Veteran Owned.

Pet Approved.

Welcome to Little Apple Fresh Yards — I’m Steven Hendricks, founder, poop scooper-in-chief, and proud Manhattan, KS local.

After over 25 years of service as a Veteran and Federal Government employee, my career came to an unexpected stop thanks to some less-than-fresh decisions from above (let’s just say I was discarded like a hot load of dog poo).

So I figured, why not take all that experience handling messes — and apply it to the one kind everyone can agree stinks?

That’s how Little Apple Fresh Yards was born.

We’re a veteran-owned, locally operated small business on a mission to make your yard cleaner, your pets happier, and your shoes... well, safer. Whether you're a busy family, a landlord, a student, a military household, or just someone who doesn’t want to step in it anymore — we've got your back (and your backyard).

We take pride in what we do, even if it is a little crappy.

Fresh yards. Happy dogs. Clean shoes.

And one less thing for you to deal with.
