Overview
I am a passionate , creative and all round easy going guy. Grew up in the east kootenays, Elkford to be exact. I studied music earlier on and also welding ? It was my 20’s , they don’t count. I love conversation so hit me up to chat about anything!
Experience
I have a 10 year background in alternative energy mechanical systems and I owned a company based on this for 13 years. My horticulture knowledge is past down from my grandma and mom. I have focused efforts in regenerative agriculture to help grow dynamic healthy relationship based ecosystems for food and global stewardship. My overall passion lies in marrying these industry's/professions to create resiliency in layers of community culture, economy and spirit.
Partner(s)
For now I am ok alone but if someone wants to help that’s ok too
Farm Vision
I am looking to start on a smaller plot of land and test a few methodologies of regenerative agriculture to help feed my family more nutrient dense food as medicine. I have an auto immune disorder and have sensitivities to veggies from the grocery stores so growing my own food organically is now a matter of necessity for long term health.
Relationship with Farm Owner
I would love it if I could find a farmer that would allow me to use a small portion of his or her land for a veggie plot. Eventually I want to get to producing for other people who are immunocompromised like myself. I am collaborative and open to ways to make these steps happen.
