My family and I have decided to go all-in on farming. Running a farm has always been the plan but when my grandfather got sick in 2018 those plans got put on the back burner. Now that my grandfather has passed and family had their time of mourning, we are ready to embark on a new journey that will give us the life we’ve always dreamed of.

Goals, Values, Vision
Our goal as a family is to learn as much as possible about the farm life and use our ideas to grow the farm community. I personally would love to teach communities how to grow gardens, the importance of not littering and possibly grow to have an animal sanctuary. My wife, Kathryn grew up around horses. She adores them and knows them well. We have gotten our “feet wet” in farming but learned quickly how passionate we are about nature in general. We love eating the fruits and vegetables we grow from our very own garden and would very much like to expand our horizons. To have a life as a farmer to us would be a dream come true.
