I am currently

Description

I am passionate about taking care of this precious land so it will take care of us and our animals. I am a lifelong student of nutrition, natural systems, and the earth itself, which provides the exquisite, essential infrastructure for all life. It is my firm belief that in order to have healthy food, you must first begin with the earth from which it all comes.
I believe in responsibility and accountability to ourselves, each other and our community, and the earth which supports us all.
I believe that we should have an expectation for service to our community, a culture of co-operation and partnership; support and encouragement. I have respect, admiration, and gratefulness for each individual's creativity, strengths, and weaknesses.
I am happiest when I am integrally involved with animal husbandry, farming, gardening, and creating delicious food for all from healthy ingredients.
I am a Chef,Restaurateur, Ranch/Farm manager, and Holistic entrepreneur.
