Other qualifications:

Along with this, I've consumed several books, videos, webinars, and other education resources. I was involved in FFA growing up and have always worked on farms as summer help. I've also worked for the Game and Parks Commission giving me a different view of wildlife and riparian areas.

More info: My goal is to create a homestead that can eventually produce enough to be called a "Farmstead". I am open-minded and always eager to learn new ideas. I would like to pursue more permaculture practices as well. I am eager to learn and advance my skills.

Personal experience and production goals summary:

I am a beekeeper and mead/wine maker. I am currently being mentored by three individuals that when combined, have 160 years of experience in veg production and raising livestock. I am also being mentored by a commercial pork producer that raises the hogs on dirt. Besides the amount of knowledge and research I've digested over the last three years from endless curiousity, I also have hands on experience to further solidify this education. I have an interest in learning permaculture and how to implement it. Other hobbies include: camping, woodworking, building things, preserving, brewing, fermenting, survival skills, folk skills, renewable energy utilization and more! I hope to find a place to raise my family while also achieving our homesteading/farmsteading goals. Please feel free to contact me!
