My dream has always been to own and work on my own farm, but due to high prices, leasing one is the perfect way to bring it closer to reality. I am a video editor and former software engineer with a deep passion for raising pastured chickens, as well as some sheep and goats. Though I am a beginner, I am determined to make this dream come true.

Goals, Values, Vision
My vision for my farm is to create a sustainable and thriving operation focused on raising pastured chickens, along with some sheep and goats, while nurturing the land and promoting natural, ethical practices. Beyond raising animals, in the future I aim to grow the feed for my chickens myself, ensuring high-quality nutrition and further reducing dependency on external sources. Additionally, I plan to establish a composting system using the manure from my animals, enriching the soil and creating a regenerative cycle on my farm.
In the future, I intend to expand gradually, refining my practices and exploring regenerative methods to increase sustainability and community engagement. My background as a video editor and former software engineer has given me problem-solving skills, adaptability, and a strong learning mindset—all of which I believe will help me overcome challenges and bring my vision to life. I am deeply committed to this journey and making my dream a reality.
